The project aims to preserve and document Hausa local knowledge, cultural heritage, and oral histories on Hausa Wikipedia, addressing the current inadequacies in articles related to the Hausa people, culture, and language. Many existing articles are stubs or poorly translated, making them hard to understand, and there is a notable lack of information available online in the Hausa language.
Comprehensive Documentation: Document extensive aspects of Hausa life, including traditions, festivals, religious practices, notable individuals, and communities across West Africa and the diaspora.
Quality Content: Ensure that all documentation is created in standard, high-quality Hausa language to facilitate accessibility for Hausa speakers.
The project will engage the Hausa-speaking community in Northern Nigeria, including local historians, cultural experts, students, and community leaders. Special emphasis will be placed on involving women and youth for diverse perspectives.
