Wiki Club SATI (South Asia Technical Initiative) is a community of students and volunteers who contribute to technical and other Wikimedia spaces within the region. Initially started within an academic setting, the community has, over the past two years, expanded beyond a single institution to include members from multiple cities and regions across South Asia. It works to promote awareness of both technical and non-technical Wikimedia projects, and to foster active participation, collaboration, and community growth across the region.
