# Project Town Crier Soundbites

- **Yen and I have been friends for a long time, and we are driven by execution. The problem here is communication, and many of the solutions available today are too expensive for the communities that need them most.**
- **Drawing on our understanding of implementation and funding gaps, we are focused on solving a dire communications problem that affects lives and livelihoods.**
- **GSMA data highlights a gap between mobile coverage and meaningful access: even where mobile networks are available, many people remain unconnected because they cannot afford a phone or the cost of service.**
- **Project Town Crier is the right-sized solution for where Africa is today in its development journey.**
- **Without practical execution, everything else is a dream—ungrounded leapfrogging that can leave basic development gaps unaddressed.**
- **At this stage, communication of basic information can make a decisive difference to community security and stability, healthy crops and stronger yields, and timely medical intervention.**
- **We are at the radio stage of our growth, and this solution is RADIO.**
