Ubongo is a Tanzania-based non-profit social enterprise that produces localized edutainment for families in Africa, to help them learn, and leverage their learning to change their lives and realize their developmental potential so that the next generation of Africans can live healthier lives, contribute as productive citizens, and break the cycle of poverty. The project aims to positively impact the development, learning and life trajectory of over 100 million kids in Africa by 2030.
