Hello Chiemezie
Please it would be lovely if you would sign up as members of the
Wikimedians for offline wikis UserGroup.
Specific link here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_for_offline_wikis
This is a very informal and loose thematic based UG, in relation to
offline. Its members are scattered around the globe. Its goals and
missions overlap quite a bit with yours, but with a slightly different
angle (yours focus on nomadism, whilst offline focus on... offline ;))
There is a mailing list too, as well as a recently created telegram group
Congratulations on the involvement

On another note... reading the roles of your UserGroup, I read that one
of those is
" To represent theWikimedia Foundation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation>to the nomad."
I advise against using those specific words. No UserGroup or Chapter
represent the Wikimedia Foundation. I advise replacing it with something
like "present the Wikimedia world to the nomads"

Hello Chiemezie
This is a big problem across Africa ... we created WikiFundi to
allow for digital skills and wikipedia skills development for
offline situations. Take a deeper look at
https://www.wikifundi.org/ to see if this works for your community
and group.
Let me know if we can help you further.
warmest
Isla

Dear Boubakri
Thank you very much for this invitation. I serve a community
where internet access is a big challenge. People have no
access. It has been a source of concern for me as per how do I
reach out to this group of people to promote knowledge equity
without the internet. Learning that there is a way we could do
this is very exciting for me. I have joined the group as a
member to see how we can work around this together.
Thank you
Best.
