MapAction Chiltern Challenge · 6 July 2012 to 8 July 2012 ·

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.

Story

For those of you wanting to support the whole team donate to Team MapAction.

MapAction helps people affected by disasters get the help they need when they need it most. We deploy teams of mapping experts to the scene of a disaster, so they can map priority needs and ensure appropriate aid is delivered quickly and effectively. We’re a very cost-effective charity because we work through volunteers who contribute their time and skills free of charge.

This bike ride is one of many activitives to celebrate MapAction’s 10 years of disaster mapping, so we’re aiming to raise £10,000 in sponsorship. We’re also asking people to find and photograph as many places along the way that spell out the word M-A-P-A-C-T-I-O-N-S (we added to “s” so it had 10 letters so it ties in with our 10 year anniversary). We’ll provide prizes for the most ingenious examples.

Thank you for your support.
