AFRINIC

Afrinic is like a big phonebook for the internet in Africa. Just like how you use a phonebook to find someone's phone number, Afrinic helps people find and connect to websites, apps or other things on the internet in Africa.

But how does Afrinic work? Well, every device that's connected to the internet has what's called an IP address - it looks like a bunch of numbers separated by dots. Afrinic is responsible for giving out these IP addresses to anyone who needs them in Africa. Just like how a librarian gives out library cards to people who need them to borrow books.

Afrinic also makes sure that the use of IP addresses in Africa is fair, so that everyone has equal access to the internet. It's like if you were playing a game with your friends and your mom came in and made sure everyone was playing fairly and no one was cheating.

So, Afrinic is like the phonebook and the librarian of the internet in Africa, making sure things run smoothly and fairly.
