Badili Bongo
Children's stories, animated.
Young artists write, draw and voice their own stories. We animate them, screen them in their own community, and publish every film on YouTube.
How the children make a film
Alumni carry on into paid internships with the studio.

Mkuranga, September 2024
The pilot ran with twelve young artists, closing in a public exhibition on 14 September.
Each cohort so far has been supported personally by our director, Ibrahim Alibariki Jonathan, together with the design practice. As the programme grows to reach more districts, we welcome support from those who believe in its impact. Every contribution helps make the next cohort possible.
