My IDENTITY – My NAME, my COLOUR, my RACE, my CULTURE, is a big part of who I am. It explains my history, where I am coming from and shines a light on where I am going.
KARIBANI is identity. It is HOME. It is a place for us to learn about US – TOGETHER.

African language For Children
With over 5 songs and phrases in a local African language, your children will pick up the words quickly. The first set of toys will be in three different languages Yoruba, Swahili and Igbo. We are however working hard to add more languages.
Karibani toys will sing songs you grew up listening to. They will not only be entertained but also educated in your mother tongue! They will learn songs like 'ojo nro sere ninu ile, ma wonu ojo' (Yoruba) or 'Bata madogo dogo' (Swahili).
