[Accra, Ghana – September 24, 2024] Muna Kalati, a leading organisation dedicated to enhancing access to African children’s books and increasing the visibility of children’s book professionals, is proud to announce its rebranding as it evolves into an innovative EdTech platform. This rebranding marks a pivotal moment in Muna Kalati’s journey, underscored by a fresh new logo, a broader scope of services, and the upcoming launch of the Muna Kalati App.
From Website to EdTech Startup: A Brief History
Founded to promote African children’s literature, Muna Kalati initially operated as a website providing information on children’s books and industry professionals across Africa. Over time, it became clear that addressing literacy challenges required more than information sharing. In response, Muna Kalati has transitioned into an EdTech startup, leveraging technology to offer diverse educational resources and tools to improve African children's literacy outcomes.
New Identity, Same Mission
While Muna Kalati’s visual identity has changed, its core mission remains the same: to build courage and confidence in African children through culturally relevant resources. The organisation has expanded its offerings to include educational content in multiple formats, such as e-books, audiobooks, and animated cartoons. The rebrand highlights Muna Kalati’s commitment to creating a more engaging and inclusive learning environment for children, educators, and parents alike.
Muna Kalati Agency: Supporting African Creative of Children resources & content
The Muna Kalati Agency, a key component of the organisation’s transformation, provides a comprehensive platform for African children’s book professionals. The agency offers resources, networking opportunities, and business development support through subscription-based membership packages for authors, illustrators, and publishers. The goal is to give African children access to stories that reflect their cultures and languages and ensure that African literary professionals can thrive in a competitive global market.
The Muna Kalati App: A New Era in Digital Literacy
The soon-to-be-released Muna Kalati App is poised to revolutionise how African children interact with educational content. Designed with children aged 4-12 in mind, the app features e-books, audiobooks, animated videos, and language learning tools for popular African languages such as Yoruba, Swahili, Twi, and more. The app also provides a workspace for African publishers to distribute their content and monetise their work, empowering them to reach a wider audience.
Looking Ahead
As Muna Kalati embarks on this next chapter, the organisation remains focused on its future growth. Upcoming initiatives include expanding the library of educational content available on the app, developing partnerships with schools across the continent, and introducing additional features that promote bilingualism and early literacy.
Muna Kalati will continue to build on its reputation as a trusted advocate for African children’s literacy, offering high-quality, accessible content that supports children’s learning while preserving the continent's rich linguistic and cultural heritage.
