6. Remote mappers
from all over the
world trace roads
and buildings
from satellite
images to make a
base map in
OpenStreetMap
– an open source
map.
Anyone with an
internet
connection can
get involved – so
please get in
touch if you
would like to
help.
7. MAPPING ON MAPS.ME
We train Digital
Champions and other
field mappers in rural
Tanzania to add their
local knowledge to the
map using Maps.Me, a
free smartphone app
that works offline.

activists to use the maps
to quickly find and
protect girls at risk.
And also add missing
places to the map.
10. We trained Digital
Champions in each village
in Serengeti to map their

village for the first time.

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.
13. 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.

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