Storytelling is an art form that has reached both real and imaginative audiences. Using personal narratives, inspiring stories. motivational stories based on real life, and stories that reshape our thinking, Hadithi ya Africa has set an ambitious yet achievable target to reach thousands of Africans around the world, through their Storytelling Contest.

The Babishai Niwe Poetry Foundation is extremely pleased to partner with this formidable group of arts managers and creators,  whose intention is to establish a storytelling hub across each city of Africa. Imagine that!

Hadithi ya Africa borrows its name from the language of kiSwahili, and means “The story of Africa”.

Let’s keep voting and supporting this dynamic space of African storytellers.
