... so much more than really cool technology

In a tin-shack classroom in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, a group of kids are crowding around the radio for an English lesson. Here electricity is a luxury, not a utility, and few families can afford batteries. And few teachers are fluent in English. So War Child, a British aid agency, purchased enough Freeplay radios to help 150,000 South African children learn English via a daily broadcast lesson.

In 2002 The Freeplay Foundation donated 12,445 self-powered Freeplay radios to the government of Niger, the world's second-poorest country. The Radios for the Consolidation for Peace (RCP) project is an important arms control programme aimed at encouraging poor communities in Niger to exchange illicit guns for a Freeplay radio.

Your purchase makes you a part of a superb venture that matches innovative technology with urgent development goals.
