I recently came to know about the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and it absolutely horrified me. I learned that many young girls are cut in a “cutting season” and that starts in December in many parts of Tanzania. While this procedure is regarded as a rite of passage, this is a harmful procedure that can cause infection, cyst, urination and menstrual flow problems, infertility and death. Tanzania Development Trust is trying to help these girls by rescuing them and providing them a shelter but the problem is, Tanzania is not mapped. To reach a village that is in the middle of a vast plain is already hard and doing it without a map is near impossible. What us mappers can do is provide them with a map that can help many girls avoid this unnecessary process.

The current task is here: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/3134#

I am mapping. Hope you will join too.
