A New Era of Children’s Media

Rooted in African culture. Designed for a global generation.

Kunda Kids is a leading children’s media company specialising in publishing, edtech, animation, and live events. Founded by married couple and parents Louisa and Dele Olafuyi, we are on a mission to bring Africa’s rich cultural heritage to children around the world.

Since launching in 2020, our award-winning stories have reached millions of children, nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a deeper sense of identity. From bestselling books to the popular animated series Kunda and Friends, our content is trusted by families and educators in over 400 schools.

Headquartered in London and teams in Lagos and Kampala, we work with experts in education, child development, and storytelling to create joyful, high-quality experiences rooted in African culture. At Kunda Kids, we believe great stories can change the world, and it starts with the children who hear them.

Putting Families First

Learning that is joyful, purposeful and built to last

Our work is shaped by educators, child psychologists and curriculum experts, ensuring every story, song and resource is informed by research and aligned with key stages of child development. Through this approach, we support both parents and educators with content that children genuinely enjoy and that meaningfully supports their growth.

We believe the most powerful learning happens through play. That is why our content is designed to be fun first, while embedding rich learning opportunities that build confidence and curiosity.

Our Impact

By 2040, 40% of the world’s children will be of African heritage.

As our global population grows more interconnected, every child, whether on the continent or across the world, deserves access to stories that reflect Africa’s rich cultures and voices.

9/10 children learnt something new and interesting about African culture and history using Kunda Kids resources.

We’re reimagining how children everywhere learn about Africa. Through books, animation, music and experiences, we’re helping a new generation grow up informed, inclusive, and proud of the diverse world they share.
