Spatial Girls Network is a women led organization from Malawi. It all started as the result of the Open Women Awards in 2024. The three Co-founders were recognized as emerging stars in open mapping from Malawi. With this recognition, they thought of doing something that would also help fellow ladies to have access to different opportunities, take up leadership roles and make a difference.
The mission for Spatial Girls Network is to empower and inspire girls and young women in Geospatial science and technology, so that they contribute to decision making hence creating a sustainable community.
We would like to share what the organization is about, what we have done so far, call for collaboration and that we are ready to learn from the different communities on how we can give better impact and contribute to a sustainable community.
