Dear Wikimedians,
A lot is going on now. In this current economic hardship, volunteers from our part of the world are going through a lot of difficulties (mentally, financially and emotionally) , and having to keep up with contributions in these times is hard when we are struggling to keep up with our basic needs.
My engagements with other volunteers within my network reveals that we share the same sentiments.
I want to inquire on what the Wikimedia Foundation can do to support volunteers in this time of need.
Ghana’s economy is in crises and is currently the second to worse performing currency globally leading to extreme inflation on goods.
Volunteers in Ghana are gradually revoking their love for Wikimedia projects and unfortunately this is not by choice.
What can be done to support committed volunteers in this tough era?
The future is uncertain for many of us and we wish something can be done by the Wikimedia Foundation to support us.
