“From the bottom of our hearts at Arise Nigerian Woman Foundation, we say a very big thank you for our participation in the Edit a Thon, it’s fired us up to look forward to the work to be done on women in politics and governance in Nigeria.” About the Wiki Loves Women programme

“WikiLovesWomen project is a laudable one for women like me, especially who literally live online and creating content. This workshop just gave me a new technical skill and I am glad to be a Wikipedian. I learnt to upload pictures on wiki commons, edit articles and hope to get my hands on writing for Wikipedia Igbo, my beloved language. It is quite time consuming, but worth it.”

“We are really looking forward to how it is being used and how it will be used by our communities in places where internet connectivity and access is not reliable. We think this is a great way to expand our ability to bring the sum of all knowledge to all people, but really the exciting thing for us, is that for Wikimedians it is not just about creating knowledge or reading knowledge, it is about sharing in knowledge. WikiFundi offers the opportunity for people to share.”
