My work

I started participating in Wikimedia movement in 2020, when one of my friend introduced me to Wikipedia editing, and from that day my devotion and love to contributing to it grew.

In early 2024 I was able to conduct Kiwix4schools project for the first time in Dodoma,the capital of Tanzania.I am proud of all kinds of supports and assistance given during this project execution and I still believe I have a huge debt to pay to many secondary and primary schools in need of this marvelous software, Kiwix

After participating and get to contribute to several Wikimedia projects, my love for contributing to the Commons project is growing day by day and i tend to find good tools and resources to produce best pictures and photos, that will truly depict the mother nature and the life live. Some of my work in commons can be found in here.
