<IMG ALT="" SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/201532987/apw0a9684s.jpg">A mapathon is an amazing opportunity for volunteers to digitally connect and map the most vulnerable places in the developing world so that locals and international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) can use these maps and data to better respond to crises affecting these areas. Mapathon volunteers have a real impact on the delivery of healthcare in the field.
 
Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) would like to build a strong relationship with the public especially youth by getting them involved in its actions. With this in mind, MSF is organizing the “Doctors Without Borders Missing Maps Mapathon 2018” aiming to raise awareness on current global and humanitarian issues, enhance understanding of MSF’s medical humanitarian actions, its principles and demonstrate how volunteers can participate in humanitarian work.
 
With your help we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable people. Both beginners and experienced mappers (ages 13+) are welcome to join this event.
 
 
Here’s a glimpse of our first ever Missing Maps Mapathon in Singapore that took place on 2 December 2017 at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine - NTU! Over 200 participants attended to map Niger State, Nigeria to ease future humanitarian efforts.
