About Us

Community Mappers grew out of an organic initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor and address severe and dynamic community needs. The founder, Nicera Wanjiru K, has more than a decade of community organising, data collection, and training experience with Slum Dwellers International (SDI) - Kenya.

Community Mappers receives in-kind support from several generous researchers and practioners, including Steven Ramage, Dana R. Thomson, Killion Nyambuga, Monika Kuffer, and others! We also fundraise for community-based research projects and provide high-quality data collection services in Nairobi's poorest communities. We also have experience engaging communities and conducting research in other cities in Kenya.
