Student Builds Charity Website Success
Tristan Lake built a site for hungry kids. You can copy his winning plan.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Many Kiwi charities have old, broken websites. Donors can’t find them online.
Joe’s Food Bank lost half their donors. Their site crashed every week.
What This Means
Bad websites stop people from giving. Good sites bring in cash fast.
Think of it like a shop window. Broken windows scare buyers away.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ has over 27,000 charities. They all need better websites now.
Your local sports club needs help. Your kid’s school needs funds too.
The Fix
Build a clean site that works on phones. Tell your story simply.
Make it easy for people to give. One click does the trick.
