Languages
Africa, with a population of 1.4 billion is about 18% of the world population - surpassing the combined populations of the USA, Canada, and Russia speaks over 3,000 languages with Swahili, Arabic, Amharic, Hausa and Yoruba accounting for nearly 500 million speakers alone. Despite Africa's vast linguistic diversity, broadcasters and businesses often fail to reach the majority by prioritizing Western languages. In fact, only 22% of Africans speak a colonial language, and less than 1% use English as their first language.

Our Story
At the young age of 26 I was heavily involved in setting up Kenya’s first Christian broadcast house - TBN Family Media (part of the world renown Trinity Broadcasting Network in the USA). We were the first to bring transformational programs into the homes of millions of Kenyans. We scaled quickly building more transmission towers, invested in more frequencies to reach millions hungry for entertainment and transformational programs but I had a rude awakening! Most of our viewers, even though they were watching they didn’t fully understand them. Many had someone translating or doing a running commentary in their own language. They didn’t quite understand the message as it wasn’t in their mother tongue. It dawned on me we had to do a lot more than just broadcast programs. The first 25 minute program we dubbed took us 37 hours. We dubbed it into Swahili - a language spoken by 250 million people in Africa. We have undertaken localization projects for some of the world’s largest content owners including Joyce Meyer Ministries and collaborated on programs from Disney & Nat Geo Kids, Sesame Street But our story has just begun… More needs to be done! We empower African viewers to connect with global and worldly stories while simultaneously creating numerous job opportunities within the local media sector. My legacy endures, enriching lives and fostering cross-cultural understanding in the heart of Africa. (Founder and CEO)
