>From my experience the key of success is giving good courses for teachers. Apart of that by only reading Wikipedia you loss a lot of pedagogical advantages you get in editing. I think providing an offline wiki sandbox and later uploading the best contributions to Wikipedia could be a goog idea.
You also could promote English - Swahili translations. These activities are always a plus by learning simultaneously languages and other topics. I look forward to meet you soon in Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona and talk more in detail.
