For the past decade, the Vlogbrothers and Nerdfigtheria continuously support Partners In Health as a beneificiary of the annual Project for Awesome. In 2019, Hank and John started an inititive to fund a new maternal care facility in Sierra Leon to help reduce maternal morality in the Kona district, where Partners In Health works tirelessly to improve healthcare.
Read about the Green family connection to Partners In Health on the Partners In Health website. Find more about the fundraiser for this materity center in this Vlogbrothers video on YouTube.
Allows Twitter users to raise money for Partners in Health. If you see a tweet so good you want to donate to Partners In Health on behalf of that tweeter, respond to the tweet, saying "Hey @CharityYeti" somewhere in the tweet text. We'll send you a link to donate to Partners in Health and will tweet back letting the original tweeter that you appreciated their tweet to support maternal health in Sierra Leon! This tweet by Hank is the basis of this project.
We built the Charity Yeti on Docker using docker-compose. To build, issue docker-compose build ${serviceName}, where ${serviceName} is either charityyeti-frontend, charityyeti-backend, or both. You can spin up a backend by cloning the repo and issuing docker-compose up backend from the same directory as the Dockerfile.backend (the repo root). This exposes the port set as your environment variable PORT. See the dependecies section below for setting environment variables for local development easily. The frontend can also be started using docker-compose up frontend from repo root where the Dockerfile.frontend lives. The production deployment of Charity Yeti runs on Kubernetes hosted by Google Cloud.
This project is by Nerdfighters, for Partners In Health. We would love open collaboration and accept contributions. We also expect that you not forget to be awesome, and adhere by the Contributer Covenant. See code-of-conduct.md for full details.
To contribute, please open an issue so we can discuss.
