About the Bino and Fino Show
![The word is spreading!!]()
Bino and Fino is the wonderful educational Nigerian cartoon show about a brother and sister who live in a modern day city in sub- Saharan Africa. In each episode Bino and Fino, with the help of their friend Zeena the Magic Butterfly and their family, discover and learn things about the world.The show is for children mainly between the ages of 3 and 6.
It was created to provide more animated children’s content for the kids around the world to enjoy. As a parent, wherever you are in the world it is hard to find genuine, quality African made educational media that show wonderful aspects of African culture to your children. This is especially so when it comes to cartoons which kids are captivated by. Africa is telling its story. Bino and fino will help tell that story to children.

How You Can Help and What You Will Get
Raising capital via sales, presales & sponsorship
The aim is to raise $50,000 with your help from this Indiegogo campaign. Animation production is a very time consuming and expensive process. The series production will actually cost around $550,000. We have already started pre production work.
To raise funds we are selling the downloadable and DVD versions of the existing TV feature. You will be able to reserve copies of a limited number of the new episodes which you will receive when we are able to release them. This is called presale.
That's not all! There’ll be goodies such as Bino and Fino tote bags, stickers, t-shirts, mugs and many other gifts. We'll do our best to be creative and give you value! Pictures of some of the gifts are further down the page.

How does Indiegogo work?
Indiegogo is a way for anyone in the creative world to gather the support necessary for their projects.
