Part 2: Learning
4. In your application, you outlined some learning questions. What did you learn from these learning questions when you implemented your project? How do you hope to use this learnings in the future? You can recall these learning questions below. (required)
You can recall these learning questions below: 1. How effectively participants can edit water, sanitation, hygiene and related articles. 2. How well we can polish WASH related articles to a readable form with reliant sources. 3. How well our community can be able to benefit from these articles created and made available. 4. We will also like to learn the impact of the campaign and awareness of the project
From this work, we learned many things like: Good Writing: Working with both experienced and un experienced Wikimedian helped us get true information. We made sure the information was easy to understand but also correct. Training People: We taught many people, including women and young people, how to write on Wikipedia. We learned that teaching them directly and helping them all the time is important to keep them working. We also learned to teach people at different levels to keep them interested. Helping People: Putting WASH related activities online made more people interested in Swahili Wikipedia. This showed that writing about local things can make people more interested. Working Together: Working with cultural groups helped us write better and also showed us how to work together on future projects. Keeping It Going: This work showed us how to keep community safe for a long time. We can use these ideas to help other languages and places on Wikimedia.
5. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities? This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences? (required)
During this work, we saw some things we didn't expect, good and bad.
Good things: More people than we thought joined, especially university students and we planned to establish students WASH clubs. Bad things: Because of low budget some activities ignored and skipped ,Also some new writers didn't sign up on the Meta page, which made it hard to keep track of them.
From this, we learned to be flexible. Even though we couldn't do everything, we still did a lot of good work. We also learned to be clear about signing up so we can keep track of people better.
6. What is your plan to share your project learnings and results with other community members? If you have already done it, describe how. (required)
I will share what we learned and did on social media, using pictures and videos to show the important things. I will also write a lot about what we did on Wikimedia Diff. This will help more people know about our work and help other Wikimedia groups learn from us.
