Wikipedia:WikiProject Kenyan Circle of Concerned African Women

☆ Save On Wikipedia ↗

The Kenyan Circle of Concerned African Women WikiProject is an initiative to create, update, and improve Wikimedia content pertaining to the lives of Kenyan and African cisgender and transgender women who are notable as scholars, activists and practitioners in the world's religious, spiritual and wisdom traditions, more specifically in Kenya and other African countries. We are an offshoot/daughter project of WikiProject Women in Religion and closely work with them to reach our goals.

All are invited to contribute and join in our activities; there are many ways to help and no specialized knowledge of content or editing is required. Trainings and edit-a-thons are held regularly for new editors interested in learning to edit Wikipedia or Wikidata.

The Kenyan Circle of Concerned African Women WikiProject organizing committee, in conjunction with Women in Religion, will post meetings and give contact information and links in this space.

Here's our project banner. Please place it on the talk page of any new article or bio you create:

History

The Kenyan Circle of Concerned African Women is a chapter of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians is a pan-African ecumenical organization supporting scholarly research of African women theologians.

Upcoming events

We have many editing sessions per month, both virtually and in-person, at our editing hub at the University of Nairobi. Bring your own project to work on, or any questions you have about editing. All levels are welcome! For Zoom meeting details and more information, contact RosPost.
