Like many children here in the UK, the pandemic has interrupted the education of thousands of Nepali children - many of whom do not have access to the internet or computers; they often only have access to radio, so for them listening to the radio is the only way to continue their education.

Feba’s ministry partners are supporting the education of many children. They can listen to their lessons and the accompanying evangelistic programmes on the radio. Just like here in the UK during lockdown, homeschooling is often a family affair, so as parents help children with their schoolwork, they also get to listen to the good news of Jesus on the radio.

Throughout this pandemic, we have seen an increase in people turning to our radio ministry partners, when asking the big questions of life anew.

“When I first learnt that I couldn’t go to school anymore because of the coronavirus I was really sad”, said Maya “I don’t want to miss out on school. With Afno FM, I now tune into school lessons and do my work at home.”

At a time when many in Nepal are struggling with bereavement, loss of income and loneliness, our partners are reaching them daily with essential health care information. They are also offering practical advice on daily issues and simple hope-filled messages from God’s word.

"Through all our broadcasts, we share simple gospel messages which share the good news of Jesus. The majority of those we serve do not have access to computers. During this pandemic, radio is an affordable way for many children to continue their education, and also for those who live in remote areas far away from their nearest school". Vijay, manager of Afno FM.
