My name is Raymond Chepkwony. I am a Kenyan public Librarian with over 10 years working experience in the academic and public space. I have experience working with online resources and databases, open source software, community outreach service and information literacy.

I currently work with Kenya National Library Service (knls) as a Systems Librarian. I am a member of the Wikimedia Community User Group Kenya
As a Wikipedia I have participated in a number of Wikipedia campaigns including Months of African Cinema Campaign in Kenya https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Months_of_African_Cinema_Campaign_in_Kenya/Events_%26_Projects_2021, Wiki_Loves_Women/Wiki_Loves_Women_SheSaid_Kenya available https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wiki_Loves_Women/Wiki_Loves_Women_SheSaid_Kenya_Libraries/students/articles/Raychep
Currently I am a Wikipedian in Residence (WiR) with Code for Africa in partnership with UN working on Kenyan politics and related content on Wikipedia. The aim of this project is to tackle mis/disinformation on Wikipedia related to Kenyan politics. The project will run for a period of 6 months starting September 2022. I will be working with a group of volunteer editors whom I have recruited, trained and facilitated so that we can contribute towards making sure content on Wikipedia has accurate, reliable and correct information. I have also been active contributor to Widata.
