Outreach Hacking

Building ideas based on Map Kibera data into real projects is going to be really core. SODNet, who are offering to host trainings and editings and office space, for free, are interested in Map Kibera exactly because it will be useful to work they support in NGO and govt monitoring and accountability. Pamoja Trust, who have just come on as a local partner, are doing complementary mapping work along the Kibera railway line, very detailed work to support a community based resettlement plan, and they are interested in incorporating techniques like Walking Papers. Carolina for Kibera is starting a trash collection project, and wants maps to help in planning. All the community media we collect along with the project can possibly go on the map. Ushahidi may be able to provide a platform for that. And on and on, with everyone we talk to :)

• offer to train Nairobits students, in exchange for working on simple projects.

• matatu route map

• walking papers in pamoja trust mapping

• Ushahidi instance
