MAPPING SCHOOL JOURNEYS IN KAGERA

2 of 7

  • Students in remote schools like Ikondo walk up to 9km in dangerous conditions to school.
  • We identified the villages and hamlets where students come from and mapped them.
    • By tracing roads and buildings in OpenStreetMap
    • By adding our local knowledge of the key places using Organic Maps

  • Mapping has enabled us to know the distance each student walks to school.
  • This helps us in identify which girls most need a place at the school hostel.
  • It also means we understand better the challenges which mean some students arrive late to school.
