About Us
Quality news, where you want it, when you want it.
Children of The Dark Continent (COTDC) is the first of its kind information and media platform created to illuminate Africa so that Africans and other stakeholders can see the potential of Africa.We are rewriting Africa's story through its languages, cultures, food, art, natural beauty and its people! Africa was called the "Dark Continent" by early European explorers as very little was "KNOWN" about Africa and its people. When we refer to ourselves as “Children of The Dark Continent” we are talking about an Africa unknown to the world. We are not making reference to the color of our skin — as our Africa is a mosaic of ethnic groups.
COTDC is managed by a global team of enterprising young graduates, seasoned researchers, business executives and Information Technology professionals. Our team is committed to providing up-to-date information about the development of Africa.
