Item Description

Paulette Mpouma one of Life Asset Entrepreneurs is the founder and creator of the African Memory Game.

What is the African Memory Game?

The African Memory Game is a game to teach more about Africa. It is like a list of knowledge on the continent combining history, geography, and culture. As the player goes around the game, the participants learn facts about Africa. So you learn as you are having fun.

What inspired you to make the game?

It was a tool that I used just for my children first and then I wanted to bring it to everybody. So far we have sold 6,500 copies! The game is sold at the Smithsonian and at the World Bank, where we have had a lot of success.

Paulette Mpouma's story,                                                                         

Originally from Cameroon, Mpouma created "The African Memory Game" in 2009. She was frustrated that stories her four children were learning about Africa in school focused mostly on disease, corruption and war. She wanted her kids and everyone else to learn other things about the continent, from the history of the pharaohs of Egypt to the capitals of the different countries to its diverse wildlife, etc.
