Helping locate drinking water across Senegal🚰💧

'Fountain of Life UK' is a charity that manually installs low-cost wells across Senegal - to provide people with safe, sustainable sources of water - and they use what3words to mark the exact locations of where they plan to drill 📍

💡They’ve also created a clickable map displaying the what3words address for every well they’ve installed, so their supporters can #KnowExactlyWhere their donation helped create change 💪

This woman ended up having to isolate on her boat on NYE last year 🚣‍♀️😔She used the Gorillas app (https://gorillas.io/en) to have groceries and even some wine delivered right to her boat, and shares how what3words was instrumental in helping them find her on the water 💪👇

⚙️To kick off the New Year, here’s another #TipTuesday video to help you navigate to what3words addresses using your preferred mapping apps 🔎

We often get questions like: How do I use what3words address within apps like Apple Maps or Google Maps 🧐

While you can’t directly input a 3 word address into them yet, you can select the navigate button at the bottom of the app screen, choose your preferred app, and then get turn-by-turn directions to the precise 3m location chosen 📲🙌

Here’s a video:

Looking back on 2021 I wanted to share my favourite what3words memory of the year ⭐

💪Not only did I find it very exciting and fun to find every single entrance and ride at Winter Wonderland using what3words, but I also really enjoyed bringing my flatmates on board with using it inside the park every time we got separated. All it took was 3 words to find each other, every single time 🙌

Since we're looking back on the year, I thought I'd also share a quick look into what the last 12 months looked like for what3words 💥

Happy Holidays everyone 🎄⭐

Our team member Jen Isaacs kicked off her Xmas morning with this gorgeous scene at ///curiosity.pull.turkey 💙
