Since its 2010 launch, the vibrant Tiger Aspect Kids & Family animated series has helped build 100 classrooms in Kenya
Tiger Aspect Kids & Family (part of Banijay Kids & Family), today marks 15 years since the launch of its animated series Tinga Tinga Tales on CBeebies and Disney Jnr. Plus, it unveils construction is approved for its 100th classroom, as part of its ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of children in Kenya through education.
Created by Claudia Lloyd and inspired by Tanzanian Tingatinga art and traditional African animal folktales, the 52 x 11’ episodes were produced in Nairobi, in conjunction with Homeboyz Entertainment and continue to be distributed through NBCUniversal DreamWorks.
Tiger Aspect Kids & Family donates 50% of its Tinga Tinga Tales net profits to building classrooms and helps improve access to education in some of the most impoverished and remote parts of Kenya. Many of the 100 classrooms incorporate sustainable features like greenhouses, water harvesting schemes and ablution blocks, funded by partners Safaricom and Coca-Cola. In addition, over 40,000 Tinga Tinga Tales books, and more than 350 Early Childhood Development training kits have been offered to teachers from the ‘Read a Book, Give a Book’ scheme.
