Inspiration
Yemen is in the midst of the world's largest humanitarian crisis, yet the media is doing little to no coverage on it. My goal with this website was to bring more awareness to the issues in Yemen and provide an accurate data representation that can be constantly updated. People tend to take more action when the statistics and data is presented to them in an organized and appealing manner.
What it does
The website gives you a look into the crisis in Yemen through some facts and images, but the main purpose of the website is to present relevant data. The website has quicks stats pertaining to the crisis, and then present several types of charts showing the fatalities, food prices, imports, and more. It also has a resources page, allowing users to actually take action.
How I built it
I built this using html5, javascript, css.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges I ran into was getting the charts formatted correctly and actually getting them to appear with javascript, but I was able to figure out and actually code for all of the charts.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud to have tried something brand new using javascript to create chart, and I'm also proud of the slideshow on the homepage. The entire website idea is a big accomplishment because it can truly help others.
What's next for Yemen Crisis
I want to be able to update the data frequently as more number come in through the various sources. I also hope to expand this to other humanitarian crises around the world.
