Our Story
Wekify LLC emerged from a profound connection to the Bafuliiru community and a deep understanding of the challenges facing indigenous languages in the digital age. Our founder, driven by personal experience and a vision for preserving cultural heritage, recognized the urgent need to bridge the gap between traditional language preservation methods and modern technology.
The journey began with the Kifuliiru language, facing the real risk of digital extinction despite being actively spoken by over 400,000 people. This realization sparked the creation of Wekify, established with the mission to develop innovative digital solutions that would not only preserve languages but also make them thrive in the modern world.
