Greetings Kivuva,
Its so nice to finally meet. I was among the guys who took part in the
Kiswahli Wikipedua Challenge. Together with a coupl of others, we started
Wikimedia Kenya with the sole aim of supporting free and educational
content especially local on the internet and providing access to Kenyans.
I have no physical plan on how we can approach this but since we have
just initiated contact, I believe this is the 1st key step. Maybe we can
have a physical meetup with guys from your team and from our team and then
brainstorm on some possible areas of synch and cooperation.We have
an upcoming Chapters meetup sometime next month at the iHub and if you guys
will be around, I would love you to attend and then we pick it from there.I
will inform you on the dates soon.
I would really love to meet with the brains behind this great initiative.
I believe we will be of great benefit to each other working as a team in
achieving our goals.
You can have a glance of what we are/have been working on here:

Meanwhile could the Team members of WMKE please share on some of the
possible ways we could work with this guys? Just to get
the discussion going? Thanks
Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you Limoke. Its good to hear that the local chapter of
Wikipedia.org is active and vibrant.
I first heard of this group wayback in 2009 when Mediawiki was
conducting local campaigns to enroll more content writers especially
from public universities.
Kenya.or.ke was conceptualised in 2007 with the aim of having local
content written by locals or anybody with a good experience of kenya
and all facets of information and data that can be relevant to the
Kenyan scenario.
Indeed we would love to collaborate with the group and enhance the
Kenyan information presence on the internet. Do you have an idea of
how we should approach it?
Regards
Kivuva

Dear Lordmesh,
I just dug tis from my archives and thought I could loop you in. So a
couple of the KWC winners took up the initiative of starting up a Kenyan
Wikimedia Chapter( http://www.wikimedia.or.ke/Home) and we got
recognition
from the Wikimedia Foundation as the 2nd chapter in Africa and the 39th
worldwide. We have been quite an active lot and if you guys are
interested,
we could find a way to work together to increase Local Kenyan Content
online both in Wikipedia and the kenya.or.ke
Please let me know what your thoughts are .
