Rural Work Are any works done in rural areas rather than cities or large municipal areas. Rural jobs often focus on agricultural tasks, rural works are mostly informal, with no written contracts and little or no protection. People tend to work for long hours
Why to be involved in WLRWs?

- Increasing women participation on wikimedia projects: many population in Rural area are women; if we increase the number of female editors employed in different institutions, in public sector or staff, women in education sector the big gap of women contribution on the Wikimedia movement will be reduced.
- Improving the quality of existing content
- WLRWs will increase reach by working in a location that have historically it has been separated from the edition and to which we arrived through its local language.
- They will be the use of social media, to engage in a wide and diverse audience through social media content.
- The project fits with the Foundation's goal to increase participation by holding wiki training sessions,
- We will do strong following up on these editors and using this information to create a best practices handbook that will allow others to utilize this information to build on successful participation events.
