On the 2nd day of the workshop Ramani Huria had a 5 minutes talk where I was able to tell the participants about the problems caused by seasonal flooding to Dar es Salaam, one of Africa’s fastest growing cities. Through community mapping, people who live in informal settlements in the city can now put themselves on the map as a way of telling the whole world that they also exist and face problems caused by flooding.
Katika siku ya 2 ya washa Ramani Huria alikuwa na dakika 5 majadiliano ambapo nilikuwa na uwezo wa kuwaambia washiriki kuhusu matatizo yanayosababishwa na msimu wa mafuriko katika Dar es Salaam, moja ya mji unaokuwa kwa kasi barani Afrika. Kupitia ramani za jamii, watu ambao wanaishi katika makazi yasiyo rasmi katika mji sasa wanaweza kuweka wenyewe kwenye ramani kama njia ya kuwaambia dunia nzima kwamba wao pia kuwepo na matatizo uso uliosababishwa na mafuriko.
