 # Shoulders of giants
 This project is the next iteration of a number of excellent projects starting with [CensusReporter](https://censusreporter.org/) and [Wazimap](http://www.wazimap.co.za) that followed it. Special thanks to William Bird from [Media Monitoring Africa](https://mediamonitoringafrica.org) whose initial idea (and funding) it was to build a tool to help journalists better understand areas they were reporting on. Also thanks to Chris Berens from [VPUU](vpuu.org.za) who directed funding to help kickstart this new build. Finally, all of the amazing spatial software and tools developed by one of the most dedicated open source communities out there.
