Korikath Knowledge

Korikath Knowledge is a non-profit organization dedicated to making knowledge accessible to everyone, free of cost. Founded in 2022, we began with a small group of passionate volunteers committed to advancing open knowledge. Since then, we’ve grown into a global community, with hundreds of volunteers actively contributing to the creation and development of a free, open-source knowledge repository. Driven by the belief that access to knowledge is a fundamental right, we run various projects and initiatives aimed at ensuring everyone, regardless of background or location, can benefit from free knowledge resources.

Mission

Our mission is to ensure that knowledge is accessible to everyone, free of cost and free of barriers. We are committed to fostering open collaboration across the world to create and share educational content and resources that can be accessed by all. By harnessing the collective power of our global volunteer network, we strive to build a sustainable platform where knowledge is a public good, openly available to all and developed by the people, for the people.

Vision

We envision a world where knowledge flows freely, empowering people everywhere to learn, grow, and solve the challenges of today and tomorrow. In this world, information is not a privilege but a right—accessible to all, regardless of background, geography, or economic circumstances. Our goal is to foster a more equitable, inclusive, and informed global society, where open knowledge fuels progress and innovation.

Sister concerns

To support our mission and achieve our goals, we have launched several projects as sister concerns of "Korikath Knowledge." These initiatives help drive our efforts and expand our reach.

Project Korikath

Project Korikath is a Wikimedia-based project working to bridge the knowledge gap in the open knowledge ecosystem of the Wikimedia movement in various formats. Especially, we work with visual knowledge by donating images in Wikimedia commons and utilising those in various projects of wikimedia. Under this project, the members identify places and monuments in their locality with Wikipedia entries that don't have quality images and do photowalks personally to provide those Wikipedia entries with images.
