Tales from Africa is a collection of unfiltered student voices from across the African continent, sharing what it felt like to live through a global pandemic when you were young, far from your school, and trying to make sense of something no adult could fully explain either.

For any student navigating uncertainty today, whether from war, displacement, pandemic or any other crisis that has upended normal life, these stories offer something rarer and more valuable than advice. They offer company. The knowledge that someone else sat in that same fear and found words for it.
