Dig It Foundation/ja
Dig It Foundation (DIF) is a Non-Profit Organization that seeks to promote the growth of Wikimedia and it’s sister Project movement through contributions and outreaches using Wikimedia tools to digitize knowledge for it to be universally accessible and useful. Dig It Foundation is a user group that is based in the Western Region of Ghana.
