We are currently focused on Ethiopia, where we are applying our mapping approach to support better water access and stronger agricultural resilience. As our work grows, we aim to expand to other regions where these tools can make a meaningful difference.
At the heart of our current work is WellMapr, our AI-enabled mapping tool. WellMapr helps identify areas where shallow groundwater may be available, supporting better decisions about shallow wells and other water conservation strategies.
MapAid is supported by a network of committed volunteers, specialists and partners across multiple disciplines. If you would like to support our work, collaborate with us, or become a volunteer, we would love to hear from you and explore opportunities together.
