Article-Summary: 

This project provides orphaned child heads of households in Rwanda with a self-powered radio that is designed to provide distance education covering topics such as how to prevent disease, increase garden yields, and maintain goats. The radio is constructed to operate in harsh conditions and climates for many hours on wind-up energy or solar power; organisers describe it as colourful, easy to use, and able to receive excellent reception.
