Lingawa: Reviving African Languages Through Digital Education”
- 12% of Africa's 2,000 languages are at risk of disappearing.
- UNESCO predicts 40% of global languages face extinction.
- Lingawa secured $1.1 million in funding to address language preservation.
The initiative by Lingawa is commendable as it not only addresses the urgent need for language preservation but also empowers the African diaspora to reconnect with their cultural roots. However, the long-term sustainability of such platforms will depend on continuous funding and the ability to adapt to the evolving educational landscape.
