Haitiaksjonen

2010

Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, I co-founded an emergency relief initiative that pioneered Norway's first text donation system. We also built a web app where people could contribute an image to a virtual wall by donating to the relief work — the site accepted images via an MMS gateway and was built on Django. The campaign achieved extensive national media coverage and recognition from Norway's Minister of International Development and Telenor's CEO. The solution was scaled nationally in partnership with the Ministry and Red Cross, and the system has raised close to $15 million for humanitarian causes to date.
