German non-profit social cause URIDU has developed a solar powered MP3 player that’s being given out to illiterate women in East Africa to educate on health and life skills.
Educating people in very poor countries that don’t have electricity is an extremely difficult challenge, especially when the majority of the population can’t read or write.
