Each year natural disasters and disease epidemics kill tens of thousands and displace millions of people. Many of the places where these disasters occur are 'missing' from any map. First responders lack information to make decisions for relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project to put communities on the map. We crowdsource volunteers to map missing areas to provide humanitarian organisations and governments with the information needed to address these problems.

• Web-tool: using the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager, users can trace digital maps by drawing roads and buildings over satellite imagery. It takes about 5-10 minutes to get started.
• App: using the MapSwipe app, users can identify buildings and roads in remote places around the world.
• Validation tools: maps are validated on the ground by local volunteers, who add meta-data of place such as street names, and identifying hospitals.

• Improving efficiency of NGOs and governments working on the ground, and reducing costs and time of their projects by doing so.
• Providing data needed to measure towards the SDGs. Geospatial data is needed to measure many of these, particularly the 'proportion of population with access to..' indicators.
• Providing an engaging remote micro volunteering opportunity for organisations, and companies to involve their employees in, and meet their CSR objectives.
• Enabling NGOs to more accurately estimate project costs and timelines.

• Partnerships with NGOs and organisations who would benefit from map creation in places where they work
• Partnerships with corporates, who are able to provide ready access to large numbers of volunteers and funding
• Partnership with effective altruism organisations - as we crowdsource map creation, we provide huge value at incredibly low cost
• Community development - researching and implementing ways to engage and grow our userbase of 24,000+ volunteers
