Mapping of Agricultural Expansion for the Child Future Africa Orphanage Farm


Category: Case Study, Ecosystems

December, 2010



We undertook pro bono work for the Child Future Africa Foundation to map recent agricultural expansion on their Mount Darwin Orpharm, which provides a family home combined with agricultural activity to a number of HIV/Aids orphans. We used a very high resolution panchromatic satellite image from the WorldView-1 satellite to produce a map that clearly shows the recent addition of new agricultural fields. This map will assist the CFA Foundation with fundraising activities for further non-profit improvement and expansion of the orphanage. The satellite data was kindly donated by European Space Imaging through Infoterra.
