Bring African Edutainment
to Kids in their Local Language
Most kids in Africa have never seen cartoons that look like them or speak their own language. Research shows that kids learn best in the language they understand and use the most, and that representation in media is critical to kid's self-confidence and self-esteem. At Ubongo, we work with partners across Africa to adapt our educational TV and radio programs, as well as digital products like ebooks and apps into local languages that will enhance the engagement and learning outcomes for kids. Partner with us to bring kids the amazing gift of learning in their local languages.
