On August 22, 2025, We successfully hosted a WikiMedicine workshop in Kigali, facilitated by Dr. James Heilman to train members in translating and creating health-related content for Kinyarwanda Wikipedia using tools from the Wiki Project Med Foundation (WPMEDF).
The initiative aimed to enhance access to reliable health information in Kinyarwanda, Rwanda’s primary language spoken by nearly the entire population, aligning with our mission to promote open knowledge and digital literacy.
The workshop equipped participants with skills to translate and edit health content, ensuring accuracy and reliability through specialized tools, while increasing the availability of high-quality #health resources for the public.
The workshop also empowered medical professionals to access and contribute to health content in Kinyarwanda, supporting their practice and fostering collaborative knowledge-sharing in Rwanda’s health sector.
