Dear friends, Lusaka Zambia had a very bad cholera year in 2016 and is still dealing with the aftermath.
Local authorities, NGOs and the local community are making a lot of progress improving the infrastructure to dramatically reduce cholera cases going forward. Field work in the most impacted area, the Kanyama district starts in just over a week and will go much better if they have building footprints. Trudy Hope from OSM Zambia will be leading the local OSM community's contribution to the field work. Both she, and the organizations she is working with, have asked the HOT community to help generate the map data they need. Please visit http://tasks.hotosm.org/ and help get the first half of the priority settlement mapped. It is a slum area so a lot of small, closely packed buildings, but not as difficult mapping as it could be, so please, jump in, do your best and be a critical part of this field work. Time is of the essence.
