FaithStream connects African faith voices with growing young population – Condotti

Hakeem Condotti, the chief product officer and co-founder, House of Faith, says FaithStream will connect Africa faith voices with the continent’s growing young population.

“Our goal is to help African faith voices reach young people where they already are: online, on mobile, embedded within popular culture,” he said during the recent launch of Africa’s premier faith-driven entertainment ecosystem in Lagos.

According to Condotti, the platform is offering an alternative with stories of hope, redemption, and purpose to a generation hungry for meaning.

“FaithStream is built on technology designed for African audiences and infrastructure,” Condotti said

According to him, collective ministry is whole idea behind the global launch of FaithStream, the continent’s first premium international streaming platform dedicated to high-quality, culturally authentic faith-based content.

“Today marks the fulfilment of a vision that God placed on our hearts to build a platform where African Christians can enrich their faith with quality entertainment,” Kunle Falodun, chief executive officer and co-founder, House of Faith, said.

He disclosed that the mission is to advance a Christ-centred voice within global media and

entertainment ecosystem.

According to him, House of Faith aim to empower faith-based creatives with training, technical skills, and global distribution, beyond

access through FaithStream.

“Through FaithStream, we are intentionally

addressing the challenges facing African Christians in the entertainment world.

“We are creating a trusted sanctuary of faith-affirming content for Africans at home and in the diaspora,” Falodun said.

According to him, FaithStream is a free platform, wholly supported by donations and grants, designed to remove economic barriers from access to spiritually enriching content.

The platform offers a mobile-first experience optimised for African markets, with offline viewing capabilities, multi-device compatibility, and subtitle options to serve the diverse linguistic communities that comprise

Africa’s Christian population.

Its launch content library draws on partnerships with African filmmakers and production companies spanning Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, including the premiere of FaithStream’s first original production, ‘Love and Porridge’.

The FaithStream mobile application is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

The platform launches with a catalogue of over 135 titles comprising more than 1,700 hours of programming, including feature films, scripted and unscripted series, documentaries, and audio content, all curated to celebrate Christian faith and African culture.

The launch addresses a gap in global media, specifically targeting the over 700 million Christians residing across Sub-Saharan Africa and the global diaspora whose need for premium entertainment has been largely unmet.
