HOW WE WORK

Wiki In Africa is a small team that works collaboratively with NGOs, civil society organisations and Wikimedia volunteer groups to bring projects to life across Africa and beyond.

TOGETHER FORWARD

We believe that change does not happen in isolation. That together, collectively, we can give a voice and a platform to shift and forever change the single story of Africa.
