GroupMappers’ key project, called “Village Mapping,” aims to map Bangladesh’s remote villages in a cost-effective and precise manner. The purpose of this initiative is to identify under-served communities and work toward improving healthcare and other basic needs delivered to those areas. High-quality, in-depth maps of rural areas are created by using satellite imagery annotated by GroupMappers volunteers.
