Volunteer With OFWA

Bring your passion and skills to a movement that's reshaping who gets to write history. We need you.

Why It Matters

Your Skills Can Change the Story

Wikipedia has a massive representation gap when it comes to Africa — fewer than 20% of Wikipedia editors are women, and African topics are severely underrepresented. Volunteers are at the heart of closing that gap.

Whether you write, teach, design, translate, or code — there's a role for you in our network.

OFWA volunteers have collectively contributed thousands of hours, hundreds of articles, and priceless mentorship to communities across Ghana and beyond.
