News From Last Week
– We completed the education community outreach meetings. With printed maps and tracing paper, we sat down with informal school leaders, teachers and parents to discuss the state of education in Kibera. Many schools meet the legal requirements for community-based school funding but do not receive it. Community leaders are excited to help visualize their case to policy makers.
– We presented to the UNICEF-Kenya monthly programmatic meeting (slide deck available here), Ushahidi 101, and Africa Agriculture GIS Week.
– We began the water and sanitation mapping phase, collecting public/private water points, toilets and private water points. Complete list here.
– The Story of Map Kibera was published and will be presented next week at the University of Sussex Institute of Development Studies.
– Kibera News Network uncovered the story of a frog whose body was inscribed with a holy message.

What’s Next?
– This week we transition from map data collection to ensuring that our tools and methodology become useful for the longterm work of our partners in the community. In the safety/vulnerability theme, for example, this means supporting girls leadership groups, gender-based violence (GBV) providers in their efforts to plan new safe spaces and incidence response.
