$42,000 per year (total program cost) or 100 donors at $35/month $28.00 3 years

$3,000 per year (total program cost) or 10 donors at $25/month $2.00 3 years
RADIO STATION PROJECT The Need With a literacy rate of less than 1%, southern Sudan has no way to readily receive the gospel The Solution The project begins with a base in Kampala, Uganda, an uplink to satellite, and a downlink to repeater stations across southern Sudan that broadcast Chronological Bible Storying, community health and development teaching, and local/world news in the local languages of the people The Impact An average of 325,000 people per repeater station, with a total projected network of sixteen stations and five million southern Sudanese (out of southern Sudan's nine million people) Cost per Repeater w/ 3 Years Broadcast Operations: $125,000-$135,000 Cost per Life Changed (Average): $0.40 Cost per Life Changed per Year (Average): $0.13
