NDLink in collaboration with Wiki Nigeria is building capacity of NDelta NGOs on leveraging Wikipedia to amplify impact and causes.

The challenges of the Niger Delta region have long overshadowed its incredible resilience, innovation, and growth. By harnessing Wikipedia’s global reach, non-profits can now highlight the achievements, initiatives, and diverse voices from the region, helping to shift perceptions and drive understanding.
This capacity-building initiative isn’t just about writing history, it’s about actively shaping it and sharing the positive stories of the Niger Delta, from local solutions to development milestones.
