The campaign will raise the profile of influential women in Africa, and in the Central African Republic in particular. It will also reach out to many women and encourage them to get involved in the Wikipedian community. As a result, this small team will see itself grow with new male and female contributors joining the larger community of Wikipedia contributors.
