According to TWR's Esteban Larrosa, many people around the world "don't have the money to buy (radio) devices."  Esteban takes this argument a step further on today's Footsteps when he points out that some of them neither have access to electricity nor the "money for batteries."  In fact, let me quote a Trans World Radio listener in Africa:

"I am born again and a mother of two, but we live in poverty.  You see, I am jobless, and it is difficult to feed my kids and buy radio batteries for our radio."

That's why TWR is involved in distributing solar-powered as well as wind-up radios in parts of the world such as Africa.  To learn more about this project, click on the link below.
