About us
Fikrad is an app created for the Somali-speaking community. It aims to provide a platform for Somali people to access a wide range of literature in their native language, and for authors and podcasters to have more opportunities to reach more Somali-speaking individuals.
Due to the limited resources available for Somali speakers, it can be difficult to access books that have been translated into the language. Fikrad addresses this issue by providing thousands of translated books/summaries that can be easily accessed through one simple platform.
In addition to translated books, Fikrad will also contain all Somali literature in one place. This means that users will be able to explore all books by Somali authors, no matter where they are in the world. We want our users to be able to explore and embrace the rich history and culture of Somalia through its literature, and for Somali authors to reach their target audience without compromising their copyrights. The app will also help in distributing magazines among other things.
Finally, Fikrad will contain all Somali podcasts, including original ones. With the rise of digital media, podcasts have become an increasingly popular way to consume information and entertainment. Currently, Somali podcasts are drowned in apps like YouTube and Spotify. By including podcasts on our app, we hope to provide users with a diverse range of perspectives on a variety of topics.
Fikrad envisions a future where Somalis around the world have access to a wide range of literature and podcasts in their native language. We believe that this access will help to promote literacy, education, and understanding of Somali culture for children and adults alike.
In addition to Somalia, Fikrad also has a vision for Africa as a whole. We believe that Fikrad can help to promote the development of African literature and culture by eventually scaling into neighbouring countries like Ethiopia and Kenya and promoting local language there like Amharic, Oroma and Swahili.
We believe that Fikrad will be a valuable resource for Somali speakers around the world, and we are excited to provide a platform to celebrate the beauty and richness of Somali literature and culture.
