+## Wikipedia on Swarm was just the beginning
+
+The Swarm Foundation is proud to announce the second phase of its
+partnership with Kiwix, an offline data storer, marking another decisive
+step in creating a thriving and value-driven ecosystem. Kiwix and the
+Swarm Foundation [initially partnered](/hive/2022/kiwix-and-swarm-partner-up-to-preserve-free-online-access-to-information/) in 2022 to [bring an offline copy of
+Wikipedia](/hive/2022/announcing-50k-dai-prize-to-make-wikipedia-unstoppable/) on to the Swarm Network. Now the time has come to extend the
+partnership to preserve and democratise access to important and publicly
+available data.
+
+[**Watch the presentation from Swarm Virtual
+Summit**](https://swarm.streameth.org/session/88NEY8)
+
+*"The internet is fragmenting and we need to look at a near future
+where not all information is available to everyone. And we need to find
+new ways to counter this,"* Stephane-Coillet Matillon, CEO and
+co-founder of Kiwix, emphasises the reason why they decided to level up
+the partnership.
+
+Kiwix will join the upcoming Great Data Upload initiative, which aims to
+preserve accessible and important public data by uploading open datasets
+to Swarm. Both projects believe that every individual should have the
+freedom to access, share and benefit from humanity's collective
+knowledge, unhindered by their geographic location.
+
+## Championing the freedom of information
+
+By storing Kiwix's content, Swarm Foundation's vision of storing the
+world's data moves closer to becoming reality. This will allow
+individuals everywhere greater access to information, bridging the
+digital divide.
+
+## About Kiwix
+
+Kiwix is a non-profit and open source organisation that has made it its
+mission to make knowledge and information available to all humanity.
+They compress huge amounts of data (think really large websites) into
+small packages that can be viewed with their Kiwix viewer even on
+low-speced devices with no internet connection. This makes such data
+available even where internet access is limited, making Kiwix a valuable
+alternative for under-resourced communities.
+
+## #PowerToThePeople
+
+The partnership between the Swarm Foundation and Kiwix reiterates the
+Foundation's Commitment to defending and making humanity's knowledge
+available to everyone.
+
+Join us and help give power back to the people!

 # A push for freedom of information
 
 Swarm is a decentralised and censorship-resistant storage and communication system that enables digital freedoms. Building a mirror of Wikipedia on the Swarm network would give everyone access to Wikipedia.
 
-The first steps towards this goal were made during the [**We Are Millions Hackathon and Festival **](https://www.wearemillions.online/)(WAM). The [Swarm Association partnered with Kiwix](https://medium.com/ethereum-swarm/kiwix-and-swarm-partner-up-to-preserve-free-online-access-to-information-b8a30b2b0af4) (a protocol developed to store and search for content offline) to create a solution that enables a mirror copy of Wikipedia on the Swarm network.

 [Three inspiring solutions were submitted](https://medium.com/ethereum-swarm/we-are-millions-closing-event-exit-through-the-dao-recap-ffc59b287b5d) as part of WAM, which laid the foundation for bringing Wikipedia to Swarm and making it censorship-resistant. Now it’s time to develop a complete and working product, and the new prize aims to achieve this.
