Putting Nairobi's Slums on the Map

Last October, my partner Mikel Maron and I began a project called Map Kibera with the objective of training residents to create their own map: the first online, public map of Kibera. We used tools from OpenStreetMap and partnered with local organizations
such as the Social Development Network (SODNET), Carolina for Kibera, and Kibera Community Development Agenda (KCODA). This effort was a first step toward local ownership and creation of shared information.
