GroundTruth Model: expand the conversation!
We support a culture where digital storytelling, geographic information, and open data lead to greater influence and representation for marginalised communities.
![Page 3: Ground truth.mapkibera.ford](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052505/55583b08d8b42acb078b4b8b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What we do:• Train in creative use of new technologies for data collection and storytelling [mapping, video, mobile, web]
• Engage with specific geographic communities in-depth
• Support open, accessible information for action
• Make connections between community-owned and shared information and larger institutions
• Help people to bridge the digital divide

BUT
What's it good for in a place like Kibera?
-Very few with internet access-Everyone already knows how to get
around

Technology alone is not enough
Training alone is not enough
Data without a story had no meaning
Information without action has no IMPACT
