Stories for impact
Who we are
Combining impactful storytelling with visually-stunning animation and in-depth design thinking and UI design experience, we create stories, games and educational experiences for children to engage with the big questions of their time. Since 2015, our animation team has worked with clients, such as Google, Universal Music, the Central Bank of Nigeria, Coca Cola, and Stanford University. Since 2020, we have been creating inclusive, delightful, Afro-centric content. This includes The Adventures of Mani, which we developed with Kenya-based Buyu Tales. Apart from creating original IP across multiple children's media, we also advise creators of children’s media on topics of diversity & inclusion, sustainability, and social-emotional learning.

Sustainable Tales
Eco-Storytelling
At Fair Tales, we dream of a just, inclusive, diverse, sustainable and crisis-resistant future. We believe that the stories we tell the next generation allow us to collectively reimagine what lies ahead. This belief is at the core of our writing and our original IPs. Apart from that, we are dedicated to helping our clients tell stories that inspire a sustainable future. To design and develop games on issues such as ocean conservation, we partner with South Africa-based impact games studio Sea Monster. Whether you're a business looking to promote your commitment to sustainability or an organization seeking to educate children about environmental protection, we can help you craft a narrative and product that captures your vision and engages your target audience. Together, we can inspire the next generation to become stewards of the environment.
