Web design: Aiya Burma Fund
Aiya Burma Fund website
Aiya Burma Fund is run by Myat Thu, a Burmese student activist who has been working towards change in Burma since 1988. He has spent most of his life working with volunteers from Burma. After the devastating Cyclone Nargis hit Burma in May 2008, he directed his efforts to helping Burmese cyclone victims due to the delay and failure of international aid to reach the victims. Aiya Burma Fund has been providing aid inside Burma in various ways.
Bordermedia was asked to design and build a new website for the Aiya Burma Fund, and some basic training to allow local staff to maintain their own website. The popular CMS WordPress system – traditionally a ‘blogging’ platform – would fulfil Aiya’s requirements for an SEO-friendly and easily maneagable content management system that would not be too challenging for the non native English speaking employees to learn and use.
