About us
Empowering through diversity

We believe in fostering a sense of agency and self-confidence in every young mind. Through our stories, books, and multimedia content, we aim to inspire children to discover their unique strengths, embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, and cultivate the skills necessary to navigate a dynamic world.

At the core of ZULA's mission is a commitment to fostering empathy, understanding, and acceptance among young readers. We curate a diverse and inclusive library that represents a wide array of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

Our Stories

ZULA is more than just a digital library for kids and parents; it's inspired by an African girl's name meaning "great, forward-thinking, brilliant". Through our unique characters and our extensive collection of children's books from various cultures, backgrounds, and experiences we aim to foster identification and empowerment for all and create relatable connections for both kids and adults.

The idea behind ZULA started in the last quarter of 2021, and it fully came to action in 2022. ZULA is driven by a passionate belief that every child deserves access to empowering narratives. We are dedicated to fostering a more inclusive society by promoting understanding, empathy, and acceptance among young readers, celebrating the richness of our global heritage.

The ZULA core team

Our Goal

Our goal is clear: to become the world's largest producer of diverse and inclusive educational content for children. We envision a world where every child has access to stories that inspire empathy, foster understanding, and shape a brighter, more impactful future.

Our goal is not just a dream; it's a roadmap that guides our every step as we continue to empower minds and celebrate differences.

ZULA is not just a library but a community-driven ecosystem. We invite authors, illustrators, creators and parents who share our vision to contribute and collaborate, resulting in a rich repository of children's literature.
