The .wiki network
The Africa .wiki Network
A growing family of independent, trilingual encyclopedias on African peoples, cities and countries, built so that anyone, anywhere, can discover Africa through reliable and attractive pages.
About the project
The .wiki network is an educational project of Eburny Hosting Group. Each site is dedicated to one people, one city or one country, and tells its story in English, French and Spanish: history, institutions, beliefs, arts, language, food, famous figures and present-day life.
Every site is built from the same open template: a fast, lightweight PHP site that works on ordinary hosting, with the same structure, the same illustrations pipeline and the same care for sources. Once the model is proven on one people, it can be reproduced for the next one in a matter of days, so the network can grow quickly without losing quality.
The aim is simple: to give Africa’s diverse cultures the clear, well-sourced and beautiful online presence they deserve, in the languages in which most of the world can read them.

Reliable
Articles are an original synthesis built on named academic and reference sources, with the disagreements between scholars stated rather than hidden.
Trilingual
English, French and Spanish on every page, so that readers in Africa, Europe and the Americas can share the same knowledge.
For everyone
A welcoming design made for curious readers, students and teachers, not only for specialists. No account, no paywall.
Rooted in Africa
Illustrations and patterns inspired by each culture’s own arts, and room for real photographs from the communities concerned.
Peoples & ethnic groups
One encyclopedia per people: history, institutions, beliefs, arts and modern achievements.
