Who We Are
Built for African stories.
Built for African kids.
"For a child to truly engage with stories, they need to see themselves reflected in the world on screen."

Nichi Africa is a specialised distribution and broadcasting platform ensuring the next generation of African pre-teens and teenagers has access to content that reflects their modern lives.

By partnering with the continent's most talented studios, we provide a dedicated home for high-quality animation, comics, and games — bridging the gap between creators and global audiences.

We are more than a distribution platform. We are building a home for stories that have been waiting to be told.
