Inspiration

As Ukraine is being attacked and invaded by Russians, Most of Ukrainians home are destroyed and many people are displaced. With Refugees looking for Shelter elsewhere, Alight Refugees Supports Non Profit Organizations help large number of Refugees who flees their home to settle down by providing Foods, Water, Shelter and Financial Assistance etc.

Alight(wearealight.org) was founded in 1978 as the American Non Profit Refugee Committee, by Neal Ball, to assist refugees that had been displaced or were resettling.

With Millions of Ukrainians and Refugees around the world desperately looking for help, it become a heavy work for Refugee Teams in handling their request/applications.

Realistically, most of the form/application submissions, processing and agreements are done manually on Paper or over an email which sometime creates monotony in the work task especially in emergency critical situations.

we develop this applications using Docusign Signature API, Google Map, Google Chart Statistics, Email Server and Twilio SMS to help Refugees who Needs urgent help to easily connect and submit their application and have it agreed, signed and reviewed by Alight Refugee Team to help provide humanitarian assistance urgently.

By Providing an application coded with Refugees Application forms and by integrating DocuSign's eSignature, it makes application processing and agreements signing between Refugees and Refugees Team super fast.
