What is Code for a Cause?

Do you believe that anyone can be a change-maker in their community? Every action, no matter how big or small can create a ripple effect and transform you and those around you. Although the digital era has brought so many advances to modern-day living, there are still so many issues we have to struggle with almost every day. We believe it is our duty to contribute to the well-being of the community that surrounds us.

We know that all great things take time and resources, but through individual and organisational activities we can reach the most positive outcomes, which is what Code For a Cause is all about. Our goal is to make the projects open-source and give back to the community worldwide! We wish to donate the projects either to the organisation that suggested the idea or to the institution/organization that has jurisdiction over that idea.

If you are an organisation with a vision and idea how to make this world a better place, feel free to submit your idea and make an impact!

Our leadership team

Behind every story, there is a team of visionaries who inspire us to dream big and push technological boundaries to create resilient solutions for the future. Passionate. Proactive. Expert. - Meet the people who turn your ideas into a reality.
