Find Features - Find - Buildings - Upatá, Bolivar-Venezuela (1) HOT
Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is of crucial relevance, as women play an essential role in** indigenous populations**, and contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation and community sustainability.
In addition, women in indigenous communities are transmitters of local knowledge and assume fundamental responsibilities in the management of natural resources and environmental preservation. Women’s active participation in their communities strengthens resilience in the face of socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In the context of the Amazon, mapping becomes critically important when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. When women in these communities have detailed information of their surroundings, it facilitates strategic planning against threats, and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its population.

In the HeC region, home to over 471,000 people including 154,000 out-of-camp refugees, many households remain invisible due to extreme population dispersion (3.33 persons/km²).
Using MapSwipe, we crowdsource the identification of buildings from satellite imagery, helping to locate isolated homes and villages. This early step enables faster, more targeted mapping, critical for humanitarian response in areas often overlooked due to limited existing data.
The region faces growing humanitarian needs: 85% of refugee households are classified as vulnerable, while most lack shelter, sanitation, and access to food and water. Host communities also face severe shortages. MapSwipe helps us detect clusters of population and infrastructure in hard-to-reach areas, supporting equitable planning and ensuring services reach the people who need them most.
This work also supports long-term planning. As climate shocks increase and new pressures, such as planned economic zones and refugee camp transformations, emerge, knowing where people live and what they can access is essential.

**Please look for buildings.** Mozambique ranks among the top ten countries most vulnerable to climate change, facing increasingly frequent and severe disasters that displace thousands of people. For instance, Cyclone Filipo in March 2024 displaced 48,000 individuals. The World Bank warns that without proactive adaptation measures, an additional 1.6 million people could fall into poverty by 2050. The country’s vulnerability is driven by its extensive coastline and nine major river basins, making it highly susceptible to climate-related disasters. In this challenging context, anticipatory action is crucial to safeguarding both populations and economic assets. Disaster management efforts in Mozambique are led by the Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres (INGD), which operates through regional offices and community-based disaster risk reduction committees. These efforts focus on preparedness, early warning systems, and coordinated response initiatives.

To enhance disaster resilience, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), the Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Comunidade (FDC), INGD, and INGD's National Center for Emergency Operations (CENOE) have joined forces on the "Mapping Populations and Services in Rural Mozambique" project. This initiative aims to revolutionize disaster preparedness by integrating modern technology with the invaluable local knowledge of the communities most affected by climate change. Through participatory mapping, the project actively involves communities in data collection and risk assessment, empowering them to play a pivotal role in shaping disaster response strategies. By recognizing the importance of local insights and ensuring community engagement, the project strengthens resilience and enhances the effectiveness of disaster preparedness efforts in Mozambique.

In the HeC region, home to over 471,000 people including 154,000 out-of-camp refugees, many households remain invisible due to extreme population dispersion (3.33 persons/km²). Using MapSwipe, we crowdsource the identification of buildings from satellite imagery, helping to locate isolated homes and villages. This early step enables faster, more targeted mapping, critical for humanitarian response in areas often overlooked due to limited existing data. The region faces growing humanitarian needs: 85% of refugee households are classified as vulnerable, while most lack shelter, sanitation, and access to food and water. Host communities also face severe shortages. MapSwipe helps us detect clusters of population and infrastructure in hard-to-reach areas, supporting equitable planning and ensuring services reach the people who need them most. This work also supports long-term planning. As climate shocks increase and new pressures, such as planned economic zones and refugee camp transformations, emerge, knowing where people live and what they can access is essential.

Check Completeness - Water Sources - Somalia (1) HOT
Water is life. It is a basic human necessity, yet millions of people—particularly in Africa rural areas —still lack reliable access to clean and safe water. While water scarcity affects entire communities, women and girls carry a disproportionate share of the burden.
In many communities, women and girls are primarily responsible for collecting water, often walking long distances each day. This reality affects nearly every aspect of their lives, limiting access to education, impacting health, reducing economic opportunities, and increasing exposure to safety risks.
This project focuses on the identification of water sources to update the data needed for more effective water planning. In the context of World Water Day, this initiative demonstrates how digital mapping can reduce vulnerability, empower women, and support sustainable water access—helping ensure that communities are not only visible on the map, but better served in the long term.
The scope is to identyfy updates and check completeness of water sources in Somalia. More info

Find Features - Buildings in San Vicente del Caguán, Meta province - Colombia (1) HOT
Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is of crucial relevance, as women play an essential role in indigenous populations, and contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation and community sustainability. In addition, women in indigenous communities are transmitters of local knowledge and assume fundamental responsibilities in the management of natural resources and environmental preservation. Women's active participation in their communities strengthens resilience in the face of socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In the context of the Amazon, mapping becomes critically important when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. When women in these communities have detailed information of their surroundings, it facilitates strategic planning against threats, and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its population.

Find Features - Locate Buildings, Climate Change Challenge - Kelantan, Malaysia (1) Open Mapping Hub - AP
Kelantan, Malaysia, nestled in the northeastern part of the peninsula, is a region rich in cultural heritage but highly vulnerable to natural disasters. The state frequently faces severe flooding during the northeast monsoon season, landslides due to heavy rainfall, and coastal erosion along the South China Sea. Climate change exacerbates these issues, with rising temperatures, more intense rainfall, and sea level rise threatening agriculture, health, and coastal communities. In response, Kelantan is actively enhancing flood barriers, improving drainage systems, implementing early warning systems, and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Locating settlements and communities on MapSwipe plays a crucial role in improving access to open geospatial data for disaster management, providing accurate data for emergency response, resource allocation, and planning resilient infrastructure, ultimately strengthening the region's preparedness and resilience against these growing threats.

Find Features - Find - Public Health - Sokoto, Nigeria (5) Médecins Sans Frontières
Since 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been supporting aid in Sokoto, Nigeria. Particularly the Sokoto Noma Hospital, with a programme of activities for people affected by Noma, including Noma survivors and their families. Noma, a neglected and little-known non-contagious disease, mostly affects children under five living in poverty.
It starts as an inflammation of the gums, similar to a small mouth ulcer. In just two weeks the infection starts to destroy bone and tissue, potentially affecting the jaw, lips, cheeks, nose or eyes, leaving survivors with physical consequences including pain, breathing complications and difficulties eating. Noma has a strikingly high mortality rate, and those who do survive are left with life-changing facial disfigurements.
Four times a year, a team of international surgeons, anaesthesiologists and nurses travel to Sokoto Noma Hospital to operate on Noma survivors. The hospital, run in collaboration with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, also focuses on community outreach, active case finding in the region, health promotion and mental health support. Better maps are needed in particular to support these community health activities.

Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is crucial, given that women play an essential role in indigenous populations. They contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation, and community sustainability. As well as transmitting local knowledge, they take on key responsibilities in natural resource management and environmental preservation. Their active participation strengthens resilience in the face of socio-economic and environmental challenges. In emergency situations, it is imperative to have effective tools, particularly given the potential impact on women. In the context of the Amazon, mapping is critical when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. By providing detailed information, this process facilitates strategic planning in the face of threats and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, ensuring the long-term survival of the region and its population.

Open waste dumping is a problem of global concern. In pursuit of addressing this challenge, researchers at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme are presently investigating potential links between waste and human health. They aim to produce evidence that can guide policy and practice. Utilizing drone imagery and an automated pipeline they developed, they have created maps that highlight the spatial distribution of waste piles for this purpose. However, there is a need for support to independently verify these maps by mapping waste piles.

Kelantan, Malaysia, nestled in the northeastern part of the peninsula, is a region rich in cultural heritage but highly vulnerable to natural disasters. The state frequently faces severe flooding during the northeast monsoon season, landslides due to heavy rainfall, and coastal erosion along the South China Sea. Climate change exacerbates these issues, with rising temperatures, more intense rainfall, and sea level rise threatening agriculture, health, and coastal communities. In response, Kelantan is actively enhancing flood barriers, improving drainage systems, implementing early warning systems, and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Locating settlements and communities on MapSwipe plays a crucial role in improving access to open geospatial data for disaster management, providing accurate data for emergency response, resource allocation, and planning resilient infrastructure, ultimately strengthening the region's preparedness and resilience against these growing threats.
This project is part of the Open Mapping Guru Climate Change Challenge 2024 hosted by the Open Mapping Hub Asia - Pacific, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and TomTom.

Since 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been supporting aid in Sokoto, Nigeria. Particularly the Sokoto Noma Hospital, with a programme of activities for people affected by Noma, including Noma survivors and their families. Noma, a neglected and little-known non-contagious disease, mostly affects children under five living in poverty.
It starts as an inflammation of the gums, similar to a small mouth ulcer. In just two weeks the infection starts to destroy bone and tissue, potentially affecting the jaw, lips, cheeks, nose or eyes, leaving survivors with physical consequences including pain, breathing complications and difficulties eating. Noma has a strikingly high mortality rate, and those who do survive are left with life-changing facial disfigurements.
Four times a year, a team of international surgeons, anaesthesiologists and nurses travel to Sokoto Noma Hospital to operate on Noma survivors. The hospital, run in collaboration with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, also focuses on community outreach, active case finding in the region, health promotion and mental health support. Better maps are needed in particular to support these community health activities.

Since the start of the conflict in 2015, more than 3.6 million people have been driven from their homes in Yemen. With more than 24 million people across the country in need of assistance, it remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Thousands continue to stream into Marib city and nearby areas in search of safety. Marib made it earn the “city of refugees” title, now hosting 750,000 displaced people. The humanitarian needs are fast accruing and basic services and assistance are overstretched. Many displaced families are now living in overcrowded, makeshift sites with poor access to clean water and sanitation, putting them at heightened risk to a COVID-19 outbreak. The data you contribute will support humanitarian organizations to better deliver aid to those more in need.

Swipe slowly through the satellite imagery and mark anything that looks like it could be a house, village, hut, plants or plantation (buildings to reach people, vegetation to highlight economic potential, both to prioritize actions). In Northern Chad, more than 268 km of road are highly contaminated by mines, from years of Libyan occupation. On top of causing accidents, mines obstruct access to vital resources such as water, agricultural areas and then prevent local development. Mapping will help Handicap International and communities, institutions, local actors working together to revive local development in those areas weakened by decades of armed conflicts.

Find Features - Building and Roadway Detection - Timmins, Ontario, Canada (1) Canadian Red Cross
The work of the Canadian Red Cross in our domestic Missing Maps initiative centres around improving the basemap for communities at risk of disaster. Timmins, located on the traditional territory of the Mattagami First Nation in what is now Northeastern Ontario, is an area historically reliant on gold mining and resource extraction, posing potential environmental risks to the surrounding communities. Wildfires also pose potential risks to this area due to the surrounding dense forest, and seasonal flooding from the Mattagami River is also a concern. Your contribution to this project will help us identify where buildings and roadways are to better map them for emergency preparedness and response in this rural region of Ontario.

Since 2014, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been supporting aid in Sokoto, Nigeria. Particularly the Sokoto Noma Hospital, with a programme of activities for people affected by Noma, including Noma survivors and their families. Noma, a neglected and little-known non-contagious disease, mostly affects children under five living in poverty.
It starts as an inflammation of the gums, similar to a small mouth ulcer. In just two weeks the infection starts to destroy bone and tissue, potentially affecting the jaw, lips, cheeks, nose or eyes, leaving survivors with physical consequences including pain, breathing complications and difficulties eating. Noma has a strikingly high mortality rate, and those who do survive are left with life-changing facial disfigurements.
Four times a year, a team of international surgeons, anaesthesiologists and nurses travel to Sokoto Noma Hospital to operate on Noma survivors. The hospital, run in collaboration with the Nigerian Ministry of Health, also focuses on community outreach, active case finding in the region, health promotion and mental health support. Better maps are needed in particular to support these community health activities.
