Global MapAid builds AI-powered low cost groundwater maps to help identify where shallow groundwater is more likely to be found, thereby supporting drinking water and irrigation for smallholder farming communities in Ethiopia. 

What we do

We turn data into practical maps that guide real decisions.

  • Groundwater mapping: Identify shallow groundwater potential to inform where to drill
  • Decision support: Provide usable outputs for teams working in the field
  • Farmer impact: Support more reliable water for households and irrigation to support livelihoods and food security – and build peace.

Why it matters

When water is uncertain, everything is harder – health, livelihoods, and food security. Better targeting can reduce wasted drilling, save time and resources, and help communities act faster.

What your support enables

Your support helps us:

  • Improve mapping and validation in Ethiopia.
  • Equip partners with tools and training to use the maps.
  • Deliver field-ready outputs that enable better water decisions.

Together, we can replace uncertainty with insight and help communities build lasting resilience.
