An open-access online platform that provides storybooks in thousands of African languages for children to learn to read and write in their mother tongue. Working with local language writers and artists, African Storybook publishes illustrated stories that
can be read offline in its Reader App.

Complementing this, a Story Maker app helps young readers become writers. While a network of “Champions” brings local
engagement to enrich the learning experience and increase impact.

Why we love them:

African Storybook fills a critical gap, creatively and comprehensively. We’re grateful to be supporting its pilot initiative around a Champion network in Ghana and Nigeria who, with their local knowledge and network, bring both reach and insight to this ed-
tech platform.
