Open Knowledge · Women's Empowerment · West Africa
Empowering women and communities to contribute to, access, and lead in the global open knowledge movement.




Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA) is a nonprofit that creates spaces where women participate, contribute, and lead in open knowledge ecosystems — from Wikipedia editing to open education and digital skills training.
Our hubs across Ghana serve as living laboratories for open knowledge, where communities come together to put African stories on the global stage.
