Do_action WordPress Lagos Charity Hackathon

The Lagos WordPress Community in partnership with the WordPress Global Foundation, How Do You Tech and Whogohost organised the second 1-day hackathon (on July 20, 2019) aimed at building useful websites for 6 non-profit organizations in the region that are impacting and inspiring lives in Lagos, Nigeria.

We are accepting sponsors to make this event possible and successful in 2020. We anticipate a participation of 60 – 100 people next year, and we will be building 6 or more websites.

P.S: we only accepted non-profit organisations operating in or around Lagos.

Who Participated?

Each website was built by a team of 4 – 8 people in the following roles; Project Manager, Designer, Developers (2), Content Manager, Social Media Manager and Quality Assurance Tester. All roles were filled with only a few no-shows due to unforeseen emergencies on the d-day.

Please Note: All teams members worked together before, during and after the event for the common good of the hackathon and the non-profits.
