pinpointing resources for people facing homelessness
ABOUT
MaPin is a project designed by a group of 3rd year students from the School or Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). These 5 women are working towards rendering the wealth of information about services for people facing homelessness more accessible and more efficient.
