How to create a map showing multiple villages, with districts highlighted?

I am attempting to create a visualization of about two dozen villages in Sierra Leone. I’m finding a lot of tutorials on how to add data to the map, but none on how to create a map myself, for a report I’m creating.

The villages are across three districts in Sierra Leone. I would like to highlight the districts, so that they each appear a different color on the final map. Ideally, the villages would then show up as dots, each labeled with its name.

About half of the villages do not appear to be on OSM right now (though this might be a spelling issue that I will need to confirm), so I also may need to add data.

I am brand new at OSM, any suggestions on how to do this?
