Why Sheeko?

Somali parents everywhere want their children to learn the Somali language, grow up with Somali values, and stay connected to their roots. But there are very few apps built for Somali kids—and even fewer that are free, safe, and made with care.

Sheeko is built for that purpose. We work with Somali writers, parents, and educators to create stories that matter:

Traditional Somali folktales like Abdi & the Hyena

Islamic bedtime stories like The Prophet’s Mercy

Everyday stories that reflect Somali life and values

Whether you speak Somali at home or want your kids to learn, Sheeko makes it easy and fun. Read or listen before bedtime, on long car rides, or during downtime.
