"Sempe Kaloon" is an association and publishing entity based in the Kafountine region of Senegal that focuses on the preservation, documentation, and promotion of the Karoninka (Kuloonaay) language.

The association collaborates with organizations like SIL International to produce and distribute a variety of materials in the Karoninka language, which is also spoken in The Gambia. Their work includes:

  • Literacy Materials: They publish books, stories, and educational resources aimed at teaching reading and writing in Karoninka, often featuring local authors and illustrators.
  • Bible Translation and Media: The association produces Christian media, including an app that features the book of the Acts of the Apostles with read-along audio and local songs in the Karoninka language.
  • Health and Community Information: They have produced materials on important health topics, such as a document related to the Ebola virus communication in the local language.
  • Cultural Preservation: Their published resources often center on local culture, such as traditional stories, daily life, and environmental themes.
    Their published works are available through various outlets, including the Google Play Store for digital apps and the SIL Global archives for printed materials.
