From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

ŭ==Endorsment from —Gwanki📧 ==

As one of the facilitators, I wholeheartedly endorse this initiative. This project not only aims to bridge the digital divide but also addresses language barriers, empowering Hausa-speaking individuals to actively participate in the Wikimedia technical space. Through training sessions and translation workshops, led by dedicated team members, including JosefAnthony, Lucas Werkmeister, AgnesAbah, and myself, Gwanki, participants will gain valuable skills in implementing WikiFunctions and translating content into the Hausa language. By promoting digital literacy and inclusion, this project aligns perfectly with the Movement Strategy 2030 recommendations, particularly in providing for safety and inclusion. --—Gwanki📧 09:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

By endorsing Empowering Hausa Language Digital Literacy through WikiFunction:Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Indigenous Knowledge, I am expressing my full support for the integration of Wikifunctions into the Hausa Wikimedia User Group. This initiative not only promotes linguistic diversity but also empowers communities to create and utilize language-specific functions, thus advancing the accessibility and inclusivity of knowledge sharing within the Wikimedia ecosystem.
