Wekify (Wekify LLC) is a language technology company focused on preserving and revitalizing indigenous languages through innovative digital solutions. We're currently working with the Bafuliiru community to preserve the Kifuliiru language.

Our primary focus is on developing digital platforms and tools for language preservation, starting with the Kifuliiru language. We combine technology with cultural preservation to ensure indigenous languages thrive in the digital age.

Wekify began with a vision to preserve the Kifuliiru language through technology. Our journey started with the Bafuliiru community, developing solutions that address their specific language preservation needs.

Language preservation is crucial because languages carry cultural heritage, unique worldviews, and traditional knowledge. When a language disappears, we lose not just words but entire ways of understanding the world.

Digital technology enables efficient documentation, wider accessibility, and interactive learning experiences. It helps create lasting records of languages and provides tools for teaching and learning.

Endangered languages face challenges such as globalization, lack of documentation, limited teaching resources, and declining usage among younger generations. Our solutions address these challenges through digital innovation.

We offer digital dictionaries, learning platforms, documentation tools, and cultural preservation solutions. Our tools are designed to be user-friendly and culturally appropriate.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect language data. Communities maintain full control over their cultural and linguistic information.

Many of our tools have offline capabilities, ensuring communities can access and use resources even without constant internet connectivity.

We follow a community-led approach, working closely with language speakers, cultural leaders, and educators to develop solutions that meet their specific needs and respect their cultural values.
