The UK’s  Department for International Development (DFID) website quotes the International Development Minister Alan Duncan as saying,  “Shujaaz is an incredibly effective way of communicating information to young Kenyans and their families, including poor farmers often in remote areas. It has provided vital guidance on farming techniques that can directly improve people live.”



 The website also shares a story of a young Kenyan man who now earns some income from a business idea he picked from reading ShujaazFM monthly comic book.
