Mission
The mission of the Wikimedia Foundation is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.
In collaboration with a network of chapters, the Foundation provides the essential infrastructure and an organizational framework for the support and development of multilingual wiki projects and other endeavors which serve this mission. The Foundation will make and keep useful information from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

Vision
Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the
sum of all knowledge.
That's our commitment.

Why Wikimedia is important?
![Page 30: Wikimedia: accessible (new) media for (almost) all](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070313/5549acc5b4c905a6758b568e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lack of media (access to media)
= lack of education
= many things that are not nice
(like: poverty, wars, no respect of human rights, crimes, abuse, civil conflicts, lack of democracy
etc.)

Strict commitment to . . .
free content,
free standards,
and
free software.
