  18. Last Saturday, the #UNMappers Kenya Youth Climate Mapping Externship team went back.

    Armed with #KoboToolbox and #ChatMap, the team fanned out across Sarang'ombe and Woodley to revisit those same points and see what five years had changed.

    What they found was remarkable. The numbers had reduced. A significant percentage of the original trash points had been reclaimed. The community had moved the needle โ€” through local action, not outside intervention.

  19. In collaboration with the Optus Academy of Geoinformatics in Uganda, we held a training on #JOSM, one of the most powerful #OpenStreetMap tools for editing and quality assurance, participated by interns and the wider mapping community.

    We thank #OptusAcademyofGeoinformatics for the opportunity to share about our work! We look forward to continued collaboration and mapping ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ“

    I shared the vision of #UNMappers Chapters: building collaborations w/ universities to equip young people to support peace & to understand +use #geodata to solve community challenges.

    To every young person who was in the room: you are not too young to take your place, to contribute, and to build. The map of tomorrow is drawn by those who dare to pick up the pen today. โœ๏ธ
