Question: My language is not listed?
Answer: We do not have funds to offer prizes for all 2000+ African languages. We can increase the number of offered languages to some extent. Contact us at lugha@tuvutepamoja.africa if you want to have your language included and can support a prize. Following the example of Engineer Mohammed Bashir Karaye, groups/individuals that support a language can have prizes named after them or entities that they choose. Each language requires $60.
