Ghana Wiki Connect

Ghana Wiki Connect (GWC) is a dynamic and passionate community initiative that was born in February 2023 with a vision to empower Ghana through free knowledge and open collaboration. Our team, initially comprising four dedicated members, was soon joined by an enthusiastic group of 16 volunteers who share our commitment to making knowledge accessible to all. They are active in various areas, including translation, outreach, and research. The community is based in the Techiman Municipality, Ghana specifically located in Techiman. It works to contribute to free knowledge and promote open data on the internet space. The group organizes events, workshops, and meetups to increase awareness of Wikimedia projects. It also works to help new users learn how to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
