Save the children has decided to teach OSM knowledge to community youth group including adolescents sothat they can share the updates of the surrounding features in Slum areas where they are living. The knowledge will be then used through community health service apps during the needs of people in slum.

This capacity of the student community will contribute not only in CRG project areas but also in the open map data base Bangladesh.
