MAPPING SCHOOL
JOURNEYS IN KAGERA

• Students in remote schools like Ikondo walk up to 9km in

• We identified the villages and hamlets where students

• By tracing roads and buildings in OpenStreetMap
• By adding our local knowledge of the key places
using Organic Maps

 It also means we understand better the challenges
which mean some students arrive late to school.
