Hello Chiemezie
Please it would be lovely if you would sign up as members of the Wikimedians for offline wikis UserGroup. Specific link here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_for_offline_wikis
This is a very informal and loose thematic based UG, in relation to offline. Its members are scattered around the globe. Its goals and missions overlap quite a bit with yours, but with a slightly different angle (yours focus on nomadism, whilst offline focus on... offline ;)) There is a mailing list too, as well as a recently created telegram group
Congratulations on the involvement
Florence / Anthere
On another note... reading the roles of your UserGroup, I read that one of those is
" To represent the Wikimedia Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation to the nomad."
I advise against using those specific words. No UserGroup or Chapter represent the Wikimedia Foundation. I advise replacing it with something like "present the Wikimedia world to the nomads"

Hello Chiemezie
This is a big problem across Africa ... we created WikiFundi to allow for digital skills and wikipedia skills development for offline situations. Take a deeper look at https://www.wikifundi.org/ to see if this works for your community and group.
Let me know if we can help you further.
warmest Isla

Dear Boubakri Thank you very much for this invitation. I serve a community where internet access is a big challenge. People have no access. It has been a source of concern for me as per how do I reach out to this group of people to promote knowledge equity without the internet. Learning that there is a way we could do this is very exciting for me. I have joined the group as a member to see how we can work around this together. Thank you Best. *Chiemezie Atama (PhD)*
