==Goals==
''Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?''

Yeah. The goal was to go out and take as many photographs and videos as possible and ensure that our User Group participates in Wiki Loves Africa 2024, and we succeeded against all odds. I was not happy about some things but the project was successful.

==Outcome==
''Please report on your original project targets. Please be sure to '''[[Grants:Metrics#Three_shared_metrics|review and provide metrics required for Rapid Grants]].'''''

{{Project/Rapid/Report/Table/Header1}}
<!---Please use the below table to:
1. List each of your original targets from your project plan.
2. List the actual outcome that was achieved.
3. Explain how your outcome compares with the original target.  Did you reach your targets?  Why or why not? --->

<!--2 rows for your table have been provided below.  To add more rows for additional goals, just copy and paste another row template below these-->
{{PEG/Proposals/Reports/Final/Table/1/Row
| target outcome = Number of images to upload: 700
| achieved outcome = Number of images uploaded: 416
| explanation = Initially, there were supposed to be seven participating members and each was expected to upload about 100 images. However, we later had a team of four due to the financial limitations we experienced. However, the result is still satisfactory.
}}

{{PEG/Proposals/Reports/Final/Table/1/Row
| target outcome = Number of participants: 7
| achieved outcome = Number of participants: 4 (or 5)
| explanation = The financial handicap made us reduce the number of participants. However, one more editor used our category for her images, which makes five users who used our Wikimedia Commons category.
}}

==Learning==
''Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:''
*What worked well? 
We were able to find places to take the types of photographs we needed. We didn't have any challenges with the people we took images of while performing their trades. We also didn't witness any casualties during this event.

*What did not work so well? 
We hoped to travel across Southern Kaduna to take images in various locations with a team of about seven, but the finances we needed didn't come when we planned. Improvision had to be made from elsewhere to fend for just about four persons and we decided to limit our movement to the city of Kaduna. We had busy schedules that didn't allow us to focus on uploading the images earlier. We had two rooms rented instead of the one room earlier stated because just two people could take a room together. Three photographers travelled from across different locations to be present as against the two earlier mentioned.
To be able to upload my images, I needed to edit them on the computer first and that took a while and needed electricity which was not available in my area. I had to depend on the generator for about two days close to the closing of the WLA 2024 event to be able to participate. Two members of the team had the challenge of network coverage which was so poor that they could only manage to upload a few images. 

*What would you do differently next time?
Hopefully, make time to begin uploading as early as possible after the walk, and even go for the walk as early as possible because we went as a team, about two weeks before the closing of the event which could not be enough time to edit and upload pictures, especially when the challenges of network stability and electricity embarrassment looms around.

==Finances==

===Grant funds spent===
''Please describe how much grant money you spent for approved expenses, and tell us what you spent it on.''

* Food and drinks (for 2 days x 4 people) = 32,000
* Camera hiring = 28,000
* Accommodation (2 rooms x 2 days for three people) = 48,000
* Data for editors (5,000 x 4) = 20,000
* Transport reimbursement for 3 persons (20,000 x 2 + 15,000 inter-city to the common gathering place and back home at the end of the event) = 65,000
* Photowalk movements (transport) = 40,000
* Gift Vouchers (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th)  TBD = 30,000
* Logistics involving camera hiring, finding venues including calls and transportation. = 7,000
