Map Kibera

Map Kibera is a project that creates detailed digital maps of Kibera, one of Africa’s largest informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. By involving community members in mapping homes, streets, and resources, it provides accurate, accessible information about the area. This helps residents, organizations, and authorities better understand the community’s needs, support local development, improve infrastructure, and advocate for services like healthcare, education, and safety. Essentially, Map Kibera transforms local knowledge into a visual map, promoting transparency, inclusion, and informed decision-making for the community’s growth and development.
