The mapkibera project (mapkibera.org) is training local people of Kibera, Nairobi to create and own their map with OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap being used by search & rescue teams after the Haiti earthquake.

The community responded rapidly creating the best map resources available anywhere. Our maps continue to be used for redevelopment planning, and H.O.T. people are currently on-the-ground in Haiti giving training in use and improvement of the data

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [H.O.T.] now has a website at hot.openstreetmap.org

Free, collaborative maps are uniquely valuable to humanitarian work, especially in places where base map data is often scarce and out of date. OpenStreetMap is a web project to create a free and open map of the entire world, built entirely from volunteers surveying with GPS, digitizing aerial imagery, and collecting and liberating existing public sources of geographic data. Building on two years of informal collaborations, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [H.O.T.] is a new initiative to apply the principles and activities of open source and open data sharing towards humanitarian response and economic development.
