1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.

Creating awareness and introducing volunteers to Wikimedia projects is this project's main goal. In the Mbeya region, there is still no Wiki community; introducing this will lead to more volunteers and create awareness of the Wikimedia projects. So far I am working with the University Students Wikimedians and I have gained knowledge and seen the impact. Targetting mostly the teachers and youths will bring more and quick impact

2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.

I plan on having in-person meetups and online meetings. These strategies will be effective due to the in-person sessions will be used to demonstrate practically how Wikimedia works and how contributions are made to the sister projects while the online session will be used to make followups and provide support where needed but also provide training to those who could not attend the in-person meetings
