An Innovative Web Platform To Combat Global Poverty

[Michael Wenger]

I am the executive director of CollaborAid, a nonprofit that is building an online community where aid providers in developing countries can connect, collaborate, and share information with each other and the communities they serve. The planning behind our innovative functionality was developed through extensive feedback from NGOs, international volunteers, and local stakeholders. You can preview a snapshot of what we are building at http://collaboraid.org/tutorial.php.

Moving forward, we are recruiting a team of developers and advisers in both full and part time capacities. We are seeking front end developers proficient in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, backend developers familiar with MVC framework and PHP, and a graphic designer. As we build, we are also planning on expanding our community to a mobile platform.

Our project will have tremendous social value as we will make aid projects more effective and sustainable, lifting a greater number of people out of poverty. If you would like to get involved, feel free to contact me at [e-mail].
