Ubongo

Ubongo creates top quality, localised edutainment to help Africa's 440 million kids learn, and leverage their learning to change their lives. Our vision is to equip Africa's next generation with the educational foundation, critical skills and positive mindsets to change their own lives and communities for the better. Over 6.4 million families in Africa learn with our edu-cartoons and radio programs, and we're rapidly growing across the continent. We build collaborative "Ubongo Impact"​ partnerships with those who share our mission, and want to reach and positively influence families across Africa. Leading changemakers can use Africa’s favourite cartoons to deliver life changing messages to millions of kids & parents across the continent. Together we're building brains and building change, through human centred research, content co-creation, distribution to millions of families and rigorous impact evaluation. Research shows that watching Ubongo's edutainment leads to significantly improved learning outcomes for kids and positive behavioural change for caregivers.
