I recently applied for a mapping volunteering program by FIG Young Surveyors Network (YSN) and got selected and participated in mapping for Tanzania to help end FGM from the 22nd to 23rd of november 2024. I am glad to have participated in the program and got to learn alongside the 48hrs and more. I also got to learn of the work that Crowd2Map Tanzania are doing in Tanzania through mapping. Thank you to Crowd2Map Tanzania and FIG Young Surveyors Network (YSN) for this opportunity.

I recently had the privilege of volunteering in the Mapping for Girls initiative, collaborating with dedicated mappers over 2-3 days to digitise buildings as part of efforts to combat Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) affecting young girls in Tanzania. This initiative was organised by the FIG Young Surveyors Network (YSN)'s Volunteer Community Surveyor Program (VCSP) and Crowd2Map and was a powerful reminder of how GIS can drive real change in vulnerable communities. #MappingForGirls #GISForGood #EndGBV #FightFGM #Teamwork #Geospatial #SocialImpact https://lnkd.in/eAZu_HSx
