Data Storytelling Studio
The
Granule
We uncover the stories hidden in Africa's data — using journalism, technology, and design to reveal what the numbers mean for real people.
Investigations &
Data Stories
Each story is reported, data-driven, and designed for how people actually read today.
ETanzania’s VAT Refund Revolution: A Quiet Reform with Big Implications
When governments unveil annual budgets, headlines focus on the big numbers: spending, growth and tax collection. But sometimes the real story sits quietly in the technical annexes.
FThe Names We Don't Say: Mapping Kenya's Femicide Crisis
A data investigation into the epidemic of gender-based violence across Kenya's counties — told through the women lost.
We turn data into
narratives
The Granule Africa is a data storytelling studio built on the belief that Africa's story deserves to be told accurately, rigorously, and with humanity.
Too much of what the world knows about Africa is shaped by distant data, colonial frames, and narratives written elsewhere. We exist to change that — combining investigative journalism, data analysis, and interactive design to produce stories that are grounded in evidence and resonant with lived experience.
Our work is built for the news-avoidant generation: visual, interactive, and deeply reported. We don't just show you numbers. We show you what those numbers mean for the woman in Kisumu, the boda boda rider in Kampala, the mother in Mombasa.
The people
behind the stories
Eunice leads editorial direction and investigative work at The Granule Africa. She brings a rigorous journalism background and a deep commitment to representing African experiences with accuracy, nuance, and narrative power. Her focus is on stories that move people — not just inform them.
Brenda architects the technical and analytical backbone of The Granule Africa. She translates complex datasets into clear, interactive experiences — building the tools and pipelines that let our journalism breathe on screen. She believes data is only as powerful as the design that reveals it.
Let's tell
a story together
We work with NGOs, foundations, newsrooms, researchers, and advocates who believe data-driven storytelling can drive change. Reach out to commission a story, explore a partnership, or just talk.
