Fundraising for MapAction

Story

GeoPlace staff have selected MapAction as our adopted charity and all money from fundraising activities such as this will be donated to MapAction.

Map Action works in disaster zones providing frequently updated situation maps showing where relief help is most urgently needed. This ensures that relief agencies have the geographic information that they need to deploy the most effective response. Recent events such as those in the Philippines have shown how important MapAction is making informed decisions and delivering aid to the right place, quickly.

Further details on how to donate can be found on the Khub. Happy holidays everyone and thank you for a great year.

MapAction

MapAction believes that applying geospatial expertise to humanitarian situations can greatly improve outcomes for the people affected. Global humanitarian needs outstrip resources. Expert geospatial and data analysis can help stretch those resources for maximum impact. Many professionals want to donate their energy and skills to help. MapAction is the bridge which enables them to do so effectively. We are a non-profit organisation that collaborates with partners around the world to help anticipate, prepare for and respond to humanitarian emergencies. We strive to ensure governments, regional and local disaster management agencies and humanitarian responders have access to the information and analysis that they need to make key decisions, at the right times, to save lives and alleviate suffering. We are a team of around 100 people, 75% of them expert volunteers, plus a small roster of standby consultants. Combining the passion of volunteerism with the rigour and reliability of professional standards, the ‘MapAction spirit’ is something we work hard to maintain and the willingness of our team to go the extra mile is often fed back to us.
