Allan Mukhwana is the boss of a gaming studio, Momentum Core, in Kenya’s capital Nairobi. His company aims at developing games that not only please children but also educate them. For example, the Kenyan government will donate one mosquito net to a family living in a malarial zone if a player completes all levels of the game Mosquito Hood. In this way, they can get the children across to HIV and the other things which will lay a solid foundation for their future development.

As far as I am concerned, that’s why Africa’s game is so charming: the content of the game is related to daily life, and can also make a difference in daily life. In addition, the rich culture and stories of Africa enrich the content of the games. Last but not the least, mobile has become the major medium for gaming in Africa, thus makes Africa’s game more accessible all over the world.

Africa often makes me think of poverty and backwardness, however, in recent years, Africa’s economy has a very stable development. I held expectation about the extension of Africa’s games to a global scale.
