A grade four class at a primary school in Cape Town gave The Children’s Radio Foundation a lesson about the national budget. They questioned government’s allocations and suggested other financial priorities. They also explained what they’d do with their own money.

A simple idea powers the Children’s Radio Foundation: give young people tools and skills to express their ideas and share their stories, and you will give them a springboard to a world of wider opportunities. Today, we face immense global challenges, including changing climate, poor education infrastructure, health concerns, and rapid population growth. But where adults see problems, children see possibilities. Radio, the most accessible and impactful technology in many African communities, is the means to these possibilities. By training young people in the use of radio technology, CRF is developing a new generation of leaders to meet these challenges.
