MapSh is a free mapping and mobile verification tool created during the global Sanitation Hackathon 2012 and winner of the New York City competition. While the government of India already collects data on gram panchayats (villages) in India that have achieved open-defecation free (ODF) status, this data is difficult to access and modify. MapSh liberates and visualizes this data as well as make it easy to access a crowdsourcing tool where everyday citizens can verify or dispute reports.

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
India's Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is rewarding
local governments for achieving open defecation free status.
However, this data, while publicly available, remains easily
overlooked and partly unverified.
