Transforming refugee camps with solar power and open-source mapping

Humanitarian Aid & Technology - Kakuma refugee camp hosts over 300,000 refugees from more than 20 countries [1] - Mapping is critical for logistics and service placement in refugee camps [1] - Manually mapping the area is prohibitively difficult [2] - Humanitarian OpenStreetMaps collaborates with locals to label data using drone imagery [3][6] AI & Open Source Solutions - AI models are trained on labeled data to map solar panels, buildings, roof types, and sanitation facilities [4] - Open source code is created for mapping various facilities, enabling independent use [4] - AI expertise is combined with domain experts' understanding of human impact [5] - The technology can be leveraged and contributed to by other organizations and refugee camps [5] - The goal is to enable every refugee camp to create their own maps using drone imagery [6]
