Explain your plan
I am an active Wikimedia contributor and zone coordinator from Cameroon. Currently, I contribute mostly using a mobile phone at home, which limits my ability to edit efficiently, mobile editing makes it nearly impossible to add references on wikidata statements. Also, I translate articles between English and French during my free time, including breaks at work where I occasionally access a computer. Using the Content Translation tool on a full screen is significantly more efficient than on a phone, it allows me to review source and translated text side by side, manage templates, and catch formatting errors before saving.
A donated laptop would give me reliable access at both work and home, allowing me to complete multi-session translations without interruption. This would directly increase the number of quality articles available to francophone readers, one of the gaps I am working to close.
Affected projects
French wikipedia, English wikipedia Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons

Endorsements
- The need for materials is truly urgent for many contributors in Cameroon. @Mercyuniverse is one of the User Group’s most active contributors, and I believe that having a computer will be a source of motivation both for him and for the User Group, which is growing across Cameroon. Thank you for your support.--Geugeor Georges (talk) 16:40, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
