Do_action WordPress Ijebu Charity Hackathon

The Ijebu WordPress Community in partnership with the WordPress Global Foundation, NoworryHost, Uwani Hub, Geobajas Hotel, How Do You Tech and TunsPress organised its first 1-day hackathon (on September 8, 2019) aimed at building useful websites for 5 deserving non-profit organizations in the region that are impacting and inspiring lives in Ijebu, Nigeria.

We are accepting sponsors to make this event possible and successful in 2020. We anticipate a participation of 40 – 60 people next year, and we will be building 5 or more websites.
