Endorsement from Praise03 (talk)

I endorse this proposal for its focus on documenting underrepresented African traditions from Nigeria and the Benin Republic on Wikimedia platforms. The project’s cross-border collaboration shares the cultural heritage of both regions and supports knowledge equity. The training workshops, inclusive mobile photography, and partnerships with local cultural experts is practical. And by highlighting festivals like Osun Osogbo and the Voodoo Festival, it will enrich Wikimedia Commons with authentic cultural content and strengthen community participation in open knowledge.
