Community radio stations in earthquake-hit Nepal have become a crucial provider of information - in fact, the only source in places where newspapers do not reach and internet service does not exist.
Many of the stations are operating from tents after their permanent buildings were destroyed in the 25 April earthquake.
Staff members from these stations have shown tremendous resilience in ensuring that the flow of information does not stop.
