As African children grow up in a hyper-connected digital world, the urgency to ensure their safety online has never been greater. From cyberbullying to screen addiction, the risks are real — but so are the opportunities to guide them toward a healthier, more empowered digital future.

Muna Kalati, a leading EdTech championing Afrocentric children’s content and digital skills development, emerged as one of the top winners at the Innovest Afrika Demo Day held on Saturday, May 24, 2025.

Muna Kalati, a pioneering organization promoting African children’s literature and digital education, earned national recognition at Ghana’s prestigious Presidential Pitch competition, organized by the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) under the Ministry of Business Development. The initiative spotlights innovative startups led by young Ghanaians that are driving social and economic impact.

Muna Kalati has attained a significant milestone by participating in the prestigious Bootcamp program, organized by the Legatum Center, an elite global entrepreneurship initiative hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Publishing venues are limited and getting published is one of the most infuriating challenges of writing in African languages. There are hardly any publishing houses devoted to African languages. So writers in African languages are writing against great odds: no publishing houses, no state support, and with national and international

While it’s important for everyone to read literature from around the world, if you are of African descent, it’s a great idea to give your child an understanding of the various cultures in the continent early in their life. This is especially important if you don’t live in the continent currently. With that being said, here are five African children’s books that we recommend.
