Inspiration

We were inspired by the original project featured at the Women's Hackathon designed to connect refugee families with others able to provide them with support.

What it does

Our website, once fully implemented, is designed to allow refugees to select basic necessity items. Then families abroad with the means to provide them select a family to sponsor, and send them items, money, and/or letters.

How we built it

We used existing open source HTML and CSS frameworks, redesigning and recording them to suit our website's needs.

Challenges we ran into

Our group was new to coding, so teaching ourselves the technical aspects of HTML, CSS, and Javascript was a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We reached out to companies like Google, Raspberry Pi, and Google Loon for possible support, and got a response from google.

What we learned

We learned web design basics, project-planning, and time-management skills.

What's next for People United

We're looking forward to getting feedback on our project!
