3.Do you have any experience in promoting Wikimedia projects either online or offline?
Were you involved in a similar project in the past? Do you have any other experience related to online/offline promotion?
- Yes I was one of the major facilitator's in online Hausa Wikipedia awareness in Kaduna and also I participated in offline Hausa Wikipedia awareness in Kaduna metropolis.
I played a vital role in the success of both the 2 project. And many other project carried out in Kaduna, Zaria And katsina
I carried an Online awareness and promotion on Covid 19 myself.
4. What is your post-promotion plan?
What do you plan to do after your campaign ends?
I will also want to keep the audience engaged in Wikimedia movement.
5. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
- No
6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- Wikipedia serve as reliable and trusted source of information in our community. Anything from Wikipedia is considered genuine and truth.
Also this project was motivated because of the Goodwill messages I received on social media about the recent campaign we did on Covid 19. Our community really appreciate the project and give alot of thanks to Wikimedia Foundation.
One woman text me and I quote "I never thought there's any website or platform with this rich information, covering a topic cover to cover and leaving no angle behind. And the most amazing thing is you find information in native language. That's so wonderful, thanks to them and you". That's according to her words. So from the response of the community it really helps them and they seek for something more, something from a different topic to be educated.
This project will help in educating the entire Hausa community and also it will enhance readership.

2. Doctor Safiyya Musa.
3. Nurse Rahmatu
What resources do you need? For your funding request, list bullet points for each expense and include a total amount.
1. Data and Internet Support 500 USD. This is for organisers, and 10 facilitator's. Within the 2 weeks of the campaign.
2. Communication 300 USD.
- This includes, the airtime voucher for communication and also transportation to meet the doctors in person and the social media influencers.
3. Social media promotion 400 USD. This is for the promotion of the content and video in social media platforms. I.e Facebook, and WhatsApp.
- As I said earlier we are not paying Facebook or Whatsapp for the ads. What we do with the money is give data support to our promoters, promoter's here are Wikipedia editors that show interest in the campaign and request for data support, social media influencers that are on wiki only, that request for data support.
And how we do the promotion is, we do it ourselves, that's why it requires alot of people during the campaign. To reach larger audience. We make the post ourselves, we use our handles and also the pages we have and we also use the handles of those social media influencers. That's how we do the promotion, for a wider coverage. I hope this explanation answers this question.
4. Graphic designs 300 USD. This for at least 10 graphics images that will also be used to draw people attention during the campaign.
- Before we intend to do the campaign for a week this is because of the work of the video production, since now we cut the video production. We extend the campaign to 2 weeks and I think we need 10 graphic designs for the 14 days of the campaign.
5. Contingency 200 USD
6. Alternative power supply 400 USD. This is because of the power shortage and power failure in Nigeria. And this project is solemly online. We need power alternative for the 2 weeks of the campaign.
