Africa Mundi was born in March 2019 with one objective: to have a place in Spanish where you can stay informed of the news happening on the continent. It all started as a personal, amateur project done in free time. There were no prior guidelines, no knowledge of how to do it, no team behind it or financial support. It was just the founder, David, who wanted to tell everything he was learning about Africa. El corazón is a weekly bulletin that summarizes the news happening in the 55 African countries, presented as a newspaper with political, social, economic and cultural information. The main newsletter prioritizes the work of great journalists and other media that publish in Spanish about the continent. Two and a half years after its founding, África Mundi was already a community of more than a thousand people interested in following African news. The project was growing, but a space was needed to investigate in depth and analyze what is behind each news story. With this objective, Soraya joins the project and AM+ is born, a paid space with which to offer more qualitative content to the subscriber.
