My Local Guides Experience

Portrait Party-20.jpg

My Name is Waweru Macharia, my journey with Local Guides began with an invitation email from Google Maps to join this program. At that time i had very little knowledge about the Local Guides program but with continued contribution on the Maps and the once in a while newsletter from google maps, i continued to know more and feel as a part of this great community.

 

Our First Meetup

Nairobi Local GuidesNairobi Local Guides

In early 2017 we managed to organize the first ever Local Guides meetup in Nairobi, the attendance was great and we covered a huge area of the upper hill area in Nairobi

We later organized other three meetups with one outside our city, until google Kenya recognized and invited us to share about the Local Guides program during the Google Africa 10th year anniversary .

In late February, with the help of Google Kenya we were able to organize a map editing meetup specifically to edit Hospitals at the Google Kenya offices.

 

We have seen a huge growth in the number of Local Guides in Kenya, this growth encourages me to continue doing more so that the number of local Guides in Kenya will increase and Make our country more accessible.
