Gánh Mưu Sinh street vendor mapping initiative
Overview
A community initiative in Ho Chi Minh City called ‘Gánh Mưu Sinh’ (Livelihood Stalls) has gained popularity by using Google Maps to support street vendors and elderly individuals struggling to make a living.
By pinning the coordinates of small-scale vendors—such as fruit stalls, dessert stands, and traditional snack carts—the project allows users to search for the term ‘Gánh Mưu Sinh’ to locate those who might otherwise go unnoticed. The initiative was started by D. L. T. T., a 32-year-old resident, who was inspired by videos of elderly people struggling financially. To maintain accuracy, the creator researched social media reviews and videos to verify locations before adding them to the digital map, aiming to use free technology to connect customers with disadvantaged vendors.
