Hello Florence,
I just wanted to say that this look great. I think we can find great synergy effects here, since WMSE also is doing some work in Uganda in 2014. Firstly, we are, through the help of WWF, sending two volunteers on a train-the-trainers program in mid January to mid February. Secondly, we are sponsoring some of the infra structure in this Wikipedia center: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Mbazzi_Village_writes_Wikipedia (and the IEG looks really promising too). When do you think you will have the WiC on the ground?

(*) After much thinking, we decided to name the people we are looking for, "WiC" as in Wikipedian in Community rather than Wikipedian in Residence as previously. Our reasoning was that in most cases, WiR are typically Wikipedians "planted" in institutional context (Museums, libraries etc.) whilst we wanted to avoid this situation and get us to focus on people or communities (already-existing or to-be-created). Hence the new name.
Thanks
Anthere
