RFE's Radio Azadi --> http://www.rferl.org/section/Afghanistan/149.html has distributed nearly all 20,000 solar-powered, hand-cranked radios --> http://www.rferl.org/content/Afghan_Radio_Drop_press_release_press_room/2161124.html to Afghans across the country. The project, which began on September 17, was designed to promote access to news and information, especially in rural and remote areas where illiteracy rates are among the highest in the world and where radio is often the only means for people to receive news.
