Yeah, sounds like they aren't on enWiki so will
probably need to get it
from stewards or request an IP exemption. If they are doing it in a
computer lap an IP exemption is probably going to be the best bet. You can

The easiest and most practical way is to request an 'account creator' [1]
rights, if the they plan to run the project for a long time :

or to request the accounts to be created by existing account creators at

Hello everyone,
I am in touch with a high school class in South Africa that has been
writing Wikipedia Articles in isiXhosa.
Some of the Wikipedians in the class:

This took a couple of sessions as there is a Wikipedia
limit of 6
registrations from the same computer lab per day.
"
Are there any admins who could change this limit to something more like
the
size of a large classroom? These students are the
only contributors to
isiXhosa Wikipedia and they are very excited to work on it.
