Wikimedia Community User Group South Sudan is the officially recognized Wikimedia affiliate representing South Sudan's growing community of volunteer editors, translators, and open knowledge advocates. Since our recognition in February 2025, we have worked to document South Sudan's languages, Indigenous names, and oral heritage, while training a new generation of Wikimedians across Juba and surrounding communities.

Our growing network of volunteers is united by a shared mission: closing the representation gap for South Sudanese culture, languages, and history on Wikimedia projects, and building a sustainable, locally-led open knowledge movement.

우리는

The Wikimedia Community User Group South Sudan (WCUGSS) is a volunteer-driven community advancing free, inclusive, and locally relevant knowledge across Wikimedia projects — including Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons.

Founded as a grassroots initiative and officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2025, WCUGSS operates in a context shaped by limited digital infrastructure and low awareness of open knowledge. Despite these constraints, the group has built a steady, growing network of contributors working to document South Sudan's languages, culture, history, and everyday realities — knowledge that is otherwise underrepresented online.

사명과 비전

MISSION
To empower communities in South Sudan and the South Sudanese diaspora to create, preserve, and share knowledge through Wikimedia platforms.
VISION
A South Sudan where everyone can access, contribute to, and benefit from free, inclusive, and culturally accurate knowledge.

We pursue this by:

  • Increasing local content on Wikimedia platforms
  • Promoting digital and information literacy
  • Amplifying marginalized voices, cultures, and languages
  • Building a sustainable and inclusive contributor community

목표

  • Promote awareness and use of Wikimedia projects across South Sudan
  • Train new contributors in editing and content creation
  • Document South Sudanese knowledge, culture, and history
  • Build partnerships with institutions and communities
  • Serve as the national contact point for Wikimedia activities

Our Context

South Sudan's environment — limited internet access, low digital literacy, and strong oral knowledge traditions — shapes how we work rather than limiting what we can achieve. It informs a deliberate approach built around:

Capacity Building
Training contributors from the ground up, often starting with basic digital literacy.
Offline Engagement
Reaching communities where connectivity is not a given.
Culturally Grounded Documentation
Treating oral tradition as a primary knowledge source, not an afterthought.
