DOGONews is an online newspaper and web guide for children. "DOGO" (not Do-Go), means young or small in Swahili.
Our goal is to provide a fun, safe and interactive environment for children to read and learn about interesting current events. Our news articles are short, simple and include photos/videos in order to keep children focused and interested. We also augment our content with an integrated dictionary for challenging words and maps for geographical context.
