Who we are[edit]
An independent team of self-motivated individuals who improve articles on Wikimedia Foundation project websites and promote free and open access to knowledge locally in Kinyarwanda, French & English. We also invest in projects that sensitize and train different communities in Rwanda about Wikipedia with much emphasis on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia.
Objectives[edit]
- To represent the Wikimedia Foundation to the Rwandan Wikimedia contributing community.
- To promote Wikimedia projects and free content in general and to encourage the use of Wikimedia resources in education in Rwanda in Kinyarwanda & English.
- To recruit and train interested people to participate in Wikimedia projects in Rwanda.
- To organize conventions, conferences, meetings, workshops, and contests in Kigali and other cities in Rwanda related to the collection and sharing of free knowledge.
- Reducing the internet gender gap through training and encouraging more women to participate in the free knowledge-sharing processes.
