UN Mappers Mapathon at Politechnika Warszawska 🇵🇱

On 27 January, UN Mappers held a mapathon with students of Warsaw University of Technology - Faculty of Geodesy, Poland. We mapped roads 🛣 in Somalia to support peacekeeping, and buildings 🏘 in flood-affected areas in Mozambique to support humanitarian efforts. 🗺
