The Digital Landscape is an initiative which I started in 2022, with Folklores in Digital landscape 1.0 project, and 2023 with Didital Landscape 2.0 project, which has the pupose of engaging students at Universidade Rovuma to translate or produce knowledge in Emakhuwa through Makhuwa incubation Project and improve articles in Portuguese language about places and people from Mozambique. In this Digital Landscape 3.0, we intend to produce articles and/or improve 100 pages related to Mozambican female infleuntial figures who have a limited or have no page on wikipedia. I am aware that only "19% of all biographies on Wikipedia are about women" and while we cannot change this fact globally, we can contribute with 100 pages from Mozambique. These articles will also be translated into Emakhuwa through the Makhuwa incubation project. On top of that, we will enter these 100 names on the wikidata. Where possible we will take pictures of these influential people to add to wikicommons, and later dispplay on their pages.
