Happening from May 25th to July 31st, 2025, the Africa Wiki Challenge is empowering individuals and communities to contribute to the world's largest repositories of free knowledge by sharing insights and contributions that will lead to a better understanding of our continent across borders.

Yɛlɩju

In 2025, the Africa Wiki Challenge will focus on the theme "Reclaiming Our Narrative: Justice for Africans and the Diaspora through Reparation", aiming to address the historic injustices of colonialism, slavery, and systemic exploitation while advocating for reparations for Africa and its Diaspora. This year’s theme aligns with the African Union’s movement for justice and reparations and aims to amplify the voices of those impacted by historical and contemporary injustices.

The initiative seeks to enrich global understanding of reparations and elevate the voices of Africans and their descendants through the creation and enhancement of content on Wikipedia, focusing on the historical, social, and political realities that shape the reparations debate.
