Role: Web Developer → Technical Advisor
World Aid Now is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides relief to natural disaster victims. Thanks to a group of private donors that cover all operating costs, 100% of public donations go directly towards helping those in need.
I was approached by World Aid Now in 2010 to help start a web presence for their brand. After creating their first site, World Aid Now was able to be a help with the Pakistan floods of 2010 by providing funding to over twenty families for new homes. I currently serve on WAN's board and am in the process of building a new site to assist in future relief efforts.
