Only a passing American ship can help, though it may not be from America…”

One of the incredible benefits of audio drama is how it can affect rural areas and places where video is not as available. The series Crossroads aims at creating awareness about the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa.
