5435 - MINDANAO REGION, MISAMIS ORIENTAL (NORTHERN), PHILIPPINES - MAPPING FOR FOOD SECURITY

Help the Philippines map the Mindanao region to support rural farming, gender, healthcare and artisan communities. The Mindanao region grows almost half the country’s food, yet remains the poorest population, with many communities at 30-70% poverty incidence. War and conflict have increased in the region in recent years, with security and safety concerns for girls and women. Our goal is to help map rural agriculture and understand the gender gap to plan improved infrastructure with long term impacts on health, well-being and livelihood for girls, women, Indigenous Peoples and farm families.

Mapped buildings and roads for 1.5 hours.

7620 | Tanzania Development Trust

TANZANIA MISSING ROADS RAPID

Tanzania has a very high incidence of Female Genital Mutilation, extreme poverty, early marriage and Gender Based Violence. NGOs on the ground need better maps to facilitate their outreach work and protect girls at risk of FGM.

The Missing Maps project aims to map the most vulnerable places in the world (affected by humanitarian crises: disease epidemics, conflict, natural disasters, poverty, environmental crises). Building on HOT’s disaster preparedness projects, the Missing Maps tasks facilitate pre-emptive mapping of priority countries to better facilitate disaster response, medical activities and resource allocation when crises occur.

Spent 1 hour mapping roads and buildings.

5773 | MT ELGON LANDSLIDE RISK

Mt. Elgon, located in Eastern Uganda, is reported to have the highest rates of landslides and floods in Uganda, often with devastating impacts on local communities. High annual rainfall, steep slopes, increasing population pressure, and cultivation on steep slopes following deforestation are the leading causal factors of landslides.

In October 2018 landslides and debris flows occurred in Bududa District , causing 60 fatalities and displacing thousand of families. GFDRR is supporting the Government of Uganda in assessing landslide and other hydrophysical risks in the wider Mt Elgon area. Detailed location of buildings and roads are needed to study the potential impact on population and infrastructure.

8452 - COVID-19 - Sangarara, Cusco, Peru

HOT is mapping Cusco region in Peru at the request of regional government to support their COVID-19 response efforts. The maps will be used to provide cash transfers to families who are prevented from working by the quarantine and State of Emergency in Peru, and to provide nutrition and sanitation assistance.

Additionally, in parts of Cusco, over 75% of children under 3 years old suffer from anaemia. This means that their brains will not develop as quickly as other children, and once they start going to preschool and later school, they will often be tired, unable to concentrate or to learn effectively. The regions which suffer most from anaemia are usually the most remote, hardest to reach areas, where data available to local authorities and NGOs is minimal and access to health services for women and their children are limited. The Regional Government in Cusco wants to combat this by geo-locating where children under 3 live in order to improve the medical attention that they receive.

8055 - Allahabad Buildings, Kaushambi - Uttar Pradesh

For every year that a girl is enrolled in school, she is more likely to avoid early marriage and to survive childbirth. She will be less likely to suffer domestic violence, or be trafficked, and will have a higher future income. She will have a smaller, healthier family and will be 50% more likely to immunize her kids. She’ll leave her mark on future generations, as climate scientists rank girls’ education as number six out of 80 actions that can reverse global warming. And she’ll be twice as likely to educate her own girls — keeping the cycle going. Yet despite all these proven economic and societal benefits, across the globe, millions of girls are still excluded from school because of their gender. India is home to one of the largest such populations, with more than 4.1 million girls outside the classroom. Educate Girls are supporting 1.6 million girls in rural India to gain access to education, and you can help them by mapping and validating villages in rural India.
