Mozilla Common Voice announced $400,000 USD in grants for voic | Victor Omondi ✔️

Mozilla Common Voice announced $400,000 USD in grants for voice technologies that leverage our open-source Kiswahili data set. The initiative will support people and projects across East Africa who are using voice technology to unlock social and economic opportunities.


Awards of up to $50,000 each will be given to winning projects in Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Specifically, Common Voice is seeking projects focused on agriculture and finance, and that uplift groups who experience digital exclusion due to gender, income inequality, and location (for example, populations based in rural areas).
