From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When recently resettled, the needs of each migrant community include food, housing, language skills and employment. The Wikimedia Movement via local affiliates and numerous independent Wikipedians can help satisfy these needs for migrant communities.

  • Language translation The migrant community and associations serving them offer a talent pool with knowledge in non-English languages. Wikimedia projects like Wikidata, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage and Wikibooks are need of translated content. Established partnerships between human aid organizations and Wikimedia chapters to provide a framework for ongoing translation of Wikidata labels and high value articles in non-English languages.
  • Finding resources There are many groups, programs and legal services offered by the human aid departments of government and non-profit relief organizations. Improve ability to find existing offerings.
  • Language learning augment existing English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. Provide online exercises taking advantage of articles of interest available both in multiple languages and English.
Note: More established immigrant communities have different needs. These are outside the scope of the initial project.
