Reposted from #UNMaps Community Ambassador, Lucy Kago:

Every time floods hit Nairobi, the same question fills our timelines,

"How can we help solve this?"

This Saturday, we answered that question , before the floods come.

As #UNMappers Kenya, community ambassador, I ran a JOSM training session followed by a mini mapathon focused on Ruai, one of Nairobi's fastest-growing neighbourhoods in eastern Nairobi.
