As Africa marks this year’s Day of the African Child, BrytaAfrica, the fast-growing platform reshaping how young people engage with African history, is calling on leaders, parents, and educators to take bold steps in making history education a national priority across the continent.

“With each passing year, we lose more of our stories. Stories that can fuel identity, drive innovation, and build future leaders,” says Rita Abiodun, Founder of BrytaAfrica. “Empowering African children with their own historical narratives isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. This is how we raise changemakers.”

Founded on the belief that historical literacy is essential to shaping proud, resilient, and visionary youth, BrytaAfrica uses bite-sized storytelling, gamified learning, and audio journeys to make African history fun, relevant, and accessible for today’s generation. On a day dedicated to the voices and rights of African children, BrytaAfrica is urging a continent-wide commitment to teaching Africa’s past. From ancient kingdoms and liberation struggles to modern movements and innovation, every story matters.
