A project in Zambia is examining how interactive radio instruction can help bring basic education and life skills to help address the crisis of AIDS orphans. In "interactive radio instruction," broadcast lessons are scripted so that listeners feel as if they are interacting with the radio teachers. EDC has been working in partnership with the Zambian Ministry of Education's Educational Broadcasting Service (EBS), churches, NGOs and local community groups to use this method to meet the desperate and growing needs of AIDS orphans.
