Poverty poses an intricate and urgent challenge, affecting a substantial portion of the global population. Those in impoverished conditions often struggle with restricted access to essential resources like education, healthcare, sanitation, food, and finance, leaving their fundamental human needs unfulfilled. The task of addressing poverty becomes even more formidable when compounded by the enduring impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest report from The World Bank paints a stark picture, forecasting that the pandemic and its economic fallout will thrust an additional 150 million people into extreme poverty by 2021. As a responsible entity, we recognize the pivotal role we can play in tackling this critical issue through conscientious actions.
In alignment with our commitment to societal well-being, we extend our efforts beyond poverty alleviation.

Did you know that the Tingatinga African paintings served as the source of inspiration for the Tinga Tinga Tales show produced by Tiger Aspect Productions and Homeboyz Entertainment in collaboration with the BBC? The show draws inspiration from traditional African animal folktales and Tanzanian art to create a vibrant world filled with captivating characters, vivid colors, and metamorphoses. Local artists and musicians contribute their exceptional talents to the production, which is brought to life through skillful computer animation utilizing hand-painted imagery. Targeted at children aged 4 to 6 years old, Tinga Tinga Tales is a British-Kenyan flash animated television series reminiscent of Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies, Funky Valley, and 64 Zoo Lane. The BBC commissioned the show for its CBeebies channel, and the Disney Channel acquired its distribution rights for the Disney Junior block. The show's inception can be attributed to Claudia Lloyd, head of animation at Tiger Aspect Productions, during her travels throughout Africa. The first three episodes premiered on the BBC website in February 2010, and the distribution rights were subsequently acquired by Entertainment Rights, which later merged with Classic Media in 2009, was bought by DreamWorks Animation in 2012 and renamed DreamWorks Classics, and eventually became the property of Universal Television in 2016.
