01

Challenge

Children's story apps default to settings and names that do not reflect the child holding the phone, and the ones that personalise are priced for somewhere else.

02

Approach

Every story and its illustrated cover are generated around the child in front of it, rooted in African settings, names and oral tradition. An affordable credit system keeps it within reach of the families it is built for.

03

Outcome

A child reads a story set where they live, about someone with their name. Multilingual support and comprehension quizzes are next.
