Alo

Preserving and sharing Africa’s ancestral wisdom in the age of screens

Culturally rooted, digitally delivered and built for the digital native families.

About Alo

Alo is the premier storytelling platform bringing Africa’s heritage to today’s digital generation. We create immersive experiences for all ages through stories of African history, folktales, fables and languages all delivered in engaging digital formats that our community loves.
For families across Africa and the diaspora, Alo provides a fresh library they’ve been searching for: stories that entertain, teach values, and nurture pride in cultural identity. By sharing these traditions, we help build community of people who are confident in who they are, rooted in their heritage, and equipped with the moral compass to lead today and tomorrow.
But Alo is more than a gift to African families it’s a contribution to the world. Just as children grow up learning about Alexander the Great, King Solomon, or Helen of Troy, they should also meet Sundiata Keita, Mansa Musa, and Queen Yaa Asantewaa. Through Alo, the world gains access to Africa’s authentic voice – the stories, heroes, and lessons that shaped one of humanity’s most enduring cultures.
Alo delivers stories globally in digital storybook, audio, and video formats.
