The first ever Arusha Women School of Internet Governance (AruWSIG) took place on the 27th and 28th of April 2018 at Arusha Accountancy Institute (AAI). The event was organized by Digital Grassroots Tanzania country coordinator, Rebecca Ryakitimbo. Digital Grassroots President, Esther Mwema, travelled from Zambia to host a session at the maiden event that hosted 90 youth participants in Arusha, Tanzania.

For the last three years, Localization Lab has partnered with AruWSIG, to Localize different tools and resources into Swahili language, through the Localization sprints.This sprints are structured in away that every fellow gets an opportunity to go through the entire translation resource. And after the document is given to reviewers for editing purposes. A lot of people around the world have benefited from the localization of different tools and resources, with its importance becoming increasingly more well known today.

However non of this would be possible without the volunteer translators, who offer their time to take part in this localization sprints. Most of this volunteers are fellows who have been selected to be part of AruWSIG. Despite the efforts being made to increase the number of women in the internet governing space, women are still underrepresented and hence AruWSIG being a being a women only event, offers this fellows a unique opportunity to be part of this male dominated space.
