Description edit

Digital Accessibility: Inclusion of people with disabilities contributing to the Wikimedia Projects in Rwanda campaign is an important campaign depending on the least to no number of people with disabilities who are actively contributing to Wikimedia Projects in Rwanda, and the gap in knowledge that results in the lack of availability of the most useful information for people with disabilities on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia like their representative organizations, awareness of assistive devices and assistive technology, the government and non-government programs that offer funding and treatment, and other relevant information.

Vision edit

Promoting diversity among contributors involves training and empowering underrepresented communities, thereby addressing knowledge gaps within these groups.


Objectives edit

The primary objectives of this project are:

  • This will result in recruiting new Wikimedians, especially those with disabilities.
  • It will also be a great initiative where collaboratively among those newly recruited editors and the other experienced editors will implement the editathon to fill the gap in knowledge on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia about the pieces of information we lack on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia.
  • This will enrich the encyclopedia which will lead to unleashing the potential of everyone to access neutral information.
