Hello friends, partners, and supporters,
I write to you with excitement and a childlike sense of possibility, as we move into a new decade and set our sights on even bigger goals for Ubongo.
With a goal of reaching 15 million kids, the Tanzanian prodco is prepping content to export around the world, while also addressing the region’s education crisis.
According to GSMA’s 2019 Mobile Economy Report, there are over 456 million unique mobile subscribers in sub-Saharan Africa, and this number will grow to 623 million by 2025.
As Africa’s leading edutainment company, Ubongo creates fun, localised and multi-platform educational media that reaches millions of families.
The 8th of August is ‘Nane Nane’, a day where people across Tanzania celebrate the contribution that farmers have made to society and the economy. While it’s a Tanzanian public holiday, the message of this day is relevant to all Africans – farmers are important!
The study, published in the International Journal of Early Childhood this March, expands on recent efforts to develop and evaluate educational media in sub-Saharan Africa.
