Dear Wikimedians,

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who joined us for the launch of Africa Wiki Challenge 2025, held on Friday, May 23rd! Your presence — both in person at the National Museum of Ghana and virtually, made the event truly memorable.

The event featured a compelling keynote address by the founder of the African Diasporan Network, along with a dynamic panel discussion that explored the campaign theme: “Reclaiming Our Narrative: Justice for Africans and the Diaspora through Reparations.”

This year’s theme is deeply important but not always familiar to many within the movement, which is why we are committed to continuing the conversation and providing guidance throughout the campaign.

The office hours are a great space to ask questions, learn more about the theme, and get support for your contributions.

Let’s continue working together to reclaim our narrative, one article at a time. Warm regards,
