Dear friends and colleagues,
We are glad to inform you that the Yoruba Wikimedians User Group has
launched its Internet support program. You can now apply for our Internet
support micro-grants to support Internet accessibility for projects that
directly impact the Yoruba Wikipedia. According to the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), only 28.2% of the African population had
access to the internet. This is due to a lack of affordability. Internet
costs are expensive in Africa, and due to the high inflation rate in
Nigeria, many volunteers cannot contribute to the Yoruba Wikipedia because
they cannot afford the cost of the Internet.
Groups or individual members of the Yoruba Wikimedia community may now
apply for this grant to support contributions to the Yoruba Wikipedia and
related projects. The maximum amount we fund for individuals is NGN 10,000
and NGN 20,000 for groups per month.
Apply through the link below.
