Changing the Single Story of Africa
What does Africa look like when Africans tell their own stories? It looks like a student in Francophone Africa writing their first encyclopedia article. It looks like a female photographer documenting her community’s rites and rituals. It looks like a Wikimedian mentoring the next generation of digital contributors.
Since 2017, Wiki In Africa has been making these moments possible — activating communities across the continent to contribute to open knowledge platforms and close the gaps that have long misrepresented Africa online. From our flagship Wiki Loves Africa photography competition to our gender-equity programme Wiki Loves Women, and from our youth-focused WikiChallenge African Schools to our monthly WikiAfrica Hour community broadcasts, we are a network of people who believe that knowledge is most powerful when it belongs to everyone. Join us and help tell Africa’s story—get involved or support our mission today.
