[Crowd2Map Tanzania @Crowd2Map]

Police officers in Tanzania like Sijali Nyambuche, use our maps when they're alerted that girls might be at risk of FGM.

"Before the maps it was very hard to rescue the girls... if this technology was there before, we could have saved more girls."

Two weeks after the earthquake hit Morocco, aid is reaching more remote locations, but conditions are challenging.

Hear from our head of emergency operations @GwenEamer helping the @MaMrcs response on the ground.

I reiterate my solidarity with Morocco.

People affected by the Morocco #earthquake are not on the map. See satellite image of epicentre of earthquake, showing homes. The map is blank. Map here: https://t.co/DuDTkKm3PY @hotosm @TheMissingMaps

@legsidelizzy Snickometer or "Snicko" was the original Aussie version of the "ultraedge" technology I think.

[Jana Bauerová @Bayawi]

@Crowd2Map initially trained 87 digital champions in Tanzania, selected by their village w/ continuing support over whatsapp. The girls also reported GBV & helped map health facilities or water sources. 👏 @jachapman82 for building this network to protect girls at risk #sotm2022

[Crowd2Map Tanzania @Crowd2Map]

Updated rural maps of #Tanzania enabled the rescue of a girl from Nyamoko village, who would have been cut that night.

Mapping can help find women & girls at risk of #FGM.

Join us in mapping #Tanzania. We can all help #EndFGM.

@stephensparrow8 @GrimArtGroup @_lovemanchester @GreatManchester Reminiscent of the landscapes on the fringes of Manchester, may be somewhere like Shaw. Take a look at the view behind Dibnah around 6.40 as he takes down the Briar Mill chimney - (And the hair raising lack of health and safety!)
