Africa is the world's second largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. It covers 6.0% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.4% of the total land area. With more than 890 million people, it accounts for about 14% of the world's human population. Countries on the continent include Egypt and South Africa.

Sesame Workshop's "Sesame Street International Social Impact" has created a variety of programs, for the continent. They include Techniques for Effective Teaching, a series of videos for educators with Kami and Zobi of Sesame Square, and "WASH UP!" (various countries) about hygiene and santitation. The latter was expanded on for rural Zimbwabwe, with WASH UP! Girl Talk, which features animated Muppet humans talking about menstruation.[1]
