Virtual Volunteer with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team on GivingTuesday (Dec.2, 2025)

Join us on December 2, 2025, for a virtual volunteering event in partnership with GivingTuesday.org and Benevity.
HOT is an international team dedicated to humanitarian action and community development through open mapping.
We work together to provide map data which revolutionises disaster management, reduces risks, and contributes to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Each year, disasters around the world affect, displace, or kill millions of people.
Missing maps can result in aid not reaching communities affected by disasters.
Humanitarian mapping ensures that decision-makers are able to rely on maps to better allocate resources and reach target communities.
When major disaster strikes anywhere in the world, thousands of HOT volunteers come together online (that includes all of you!) and on the ground to create open map data that enables disaster responders to reach those in need.

Join this virtual volunteer event to help first responders send relief to areas impacted. It’s a great opportunity for individuals from all over the world to map crucial infrastructure such as buildings and roads and identify changes in areas that will help provide better assistance.

What to expect:

Meet members from Benevity, GivingTuesday.org and nonprofits, Humanitarian OpenStreet Map Team and Lemontree.

Discover resources to continue mapping at any time.
