About Limu Lab
Limu Lab creates digital learning content and platforms that turn language learning into play for young children. Its content includes animated stories, nursery rhymes, e-books, interactive activities and games in African languages, both those children speak at home and those they are discovering, with teasers in six languages. The company addresses the lack of engaging digital learning material in African languages, which it links to low literacy levels in South Africa. A related Limu Foundation supports the work.
Limu Lab was founded in 2020 and is based in Cape Town, South Africa. It took part in Grindstone Accelerator Cohort 11 (2022/23).
