Hi Ubongoer!
Many of us would agree that 2020 has been a year of global tragedy and disappointment. From the COVID-19 pandemic to the continued systemic racial and social injustices in many parts of the world, it’s clear that there’s a lot we need to change.
ABF Creative, a Black-owned, Newark, New Jersey-based multicultural podcast platform announced a new partnership with Ubongo, a Pan-African social enterprise that creates edutainment for kids in Africa, and around the world to bring the Akili and Me podcast to life for U.S. audiences.
Ubongo is Africa's leading producer of kids' edutainment. As a non-profit social enterprise we create fun, localised and multi-platform educational content that helps kids learn, and leverage their learning to change their lives. We reach millions of families across Africa through accessible technologies like TV, radio and mobile phones.
