Digital Mapping
In partnership with Prudence Foundation, we brought back Mapathon, an international PRUVolunteer event with the focus of improving digital maps for vulnerable communities living in areas that are at risk. Through this programme, we learned that the standard of living of these communities were in poor conditions due to the lack of digital mapping. This makes it difficult for aid providers to offer support.
By mapping out these vulnerable areas, we will be able to help humanitarian and medical aid providers respond with better efficiency when humanitarian crises, such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks as well as epidemics occur. In partnership with Doctors Without Borders, our PRUVolunteers worked together with volunteers from other countries to support the Mapathon programme. We have managed to improve the digital mapping for Nampula, Mozambique with the intent to help humanitarian organisations improve their disaster response activities which in turn will help save lives.
