Africa, a continent teeming with diverse cultures and home to over 15% of the world's total population, has long been underrepresented online, with only about 2.5% of Wikipedia's content related to Africa. But Open Foundation West Africa is revolutionizing this landscape through its collaboration with Wikimedia.

This episode features a conversation between Kwame and Ruby Damenshie-Brown, former Programs Manager at Open Foundation West Africa, discussing the organization’s remarkable initiatives bridging the digital divide and fostering collaboration and open knowledge sharing across Africa and beyond. From Kiwix for Schools project to the TAG Goals Digital project and WikiSkills for Liberian project, discover the groundbreaking work of OFWA in this enlightening episode.
