About the project

Built for local context.

Africa Unfiltered is a local-first African news discovery app for people who want to keep up with many news sources around Africa, start with headlines local to their country, and understand how stories connect.

Near

Local-first discovery

The experience starts with country, city, and community signals before expanding outward.

Many

Source diversity

Africa Unfiltered is designed to compare reporting across publishers, places, and categories.

Wide

Continental context

Local stories can reveal broader patterns across politics, business, culture, climate, and sport.

The mission

A broader view of Africa starts locally.

The app is being built for curious readers who want to see nearby headlines, discover reporting from other African countries, combine many sources in one place, and follow stories that can lead to civic awareness and social change.

News near the reader

Country and location signals help people start with what is relevant around them.

More than one outlet

Multiple publishers and categories reduce the single-source view of a story.

Stories with consequence

Coverage can reveal problems, progress, opportunity, and the people shaping change.
