Overview
The Wikimedians of Ethiopia User Group is a vibrant community dedicated to enriching Wikimedia projects with Ethiopian perspectives. Our mission is to amplify Ethiopia's rich culture, languages, and history on a global platform.
We've recently had to change our user group name from Wikimedia community user group Ethiopia , as it had collided with an existing initiation user group.
