Director Rhobi Samwelly
Hope for Girls and Women supports:
• Local Activists
• Outreach
work
• Safe Houses

3. But girls and their parents couldn’t find the
safehouses:
And safehouse staff couldn’t find them:

4. This is rural Tanzania:
This is Dar es Salaam:

5. Activists
in rural Tanzania
need
MAPS!

6. We are making them!

9. MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
We train field mappers
in rural Tanzania to add
their local knowledge to
the map using
Maps.Me, a free
smartphone app that
works offline.

11. And trained the police
and activists to use the
maps to quickly find and
protect girls at risk.
And also add missing
places to the map.

13. We trained Digital
Champions in each village
in Serengeti to map their
village, and to report GBV.
Here new smartphone
users see a map of their
village for the first time.

15. We trained Digital
Champions in each village
in Serengeti to map their
village, and to report GBV.
Here new smartphone
users see a map of their
village for the first time.

16. Digital Champions were selected
from the Women and Children’s
Protection Committee by the
village. They had never used a
smartphone before.
Training included how to use the
phone that they were provided
with. It also included a micro sd
(memory) card with
downloaded videos, books and
other materials about
agriculture, health and womens’
rights.

17. Digital Champions were
trained how to report
incidents of GBV using a
free app called ODK,
Open Data Kit.
Incidents went to Social
Welfare who dealt with
them.

18. Data can be viewed on
the KoboToolbox server.

21. Digital Champions were joined
into a WhatsApp group for
ongoing training and support, as
well as training in person and
training visits by Safe House staff.

22. Hope also uses ODK to
record girls admitted
and leaving the Safe
Houses, for follow ups
and for outreach
activities.
This data can then be
visualised, as shown
here.
