About us, our designs and what we believe in

As you can probably tell, we're not your usual designers and developers. We're a boutique shop, aiming to mix our passions of design and humanitarian work together. But oh, enough about us, we would love to hear about your story.

Cause


DrawHistory was founded on a simple intention: to combine what we love doing with what we have always been passionate about. With our respective abilities to design and develop, we're hoping we can raise enough funds to not only better ourselves but others as well. DrawHistory is not a charity organization and it does not aim to be; it houses a few designers and developers intent on doing something about the many problems third world countries face.


By pledging to give a fixed portion to our earnings to charities we’ve hand picked, we hope to build small infrastructures like libraries and water projects to enable communities to live the way everyone else has been able to.


"... we hope to build small infrastructures like libraries and water projects"

Though we are not authoritative advocates of child hunger or the water crisis, we are driven to at least attempt to help those affected in third world countries. We want to show - at the bare minimum - our support of causes such as these in the design community.


In the event that you want to designate your own charity of choice, we'll make sure it gets there. We know that there are other causes to fight for than our own, so we've given that option for our clients as well.

Target


$5,000 FOR CHARITY:WATER

800 million people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. $5,000 will let us provide water to 250 people.




4500 Children

According to the World Health Organization, 4,500 children die every day from water-related illnesses.

6 Kilometres

The average distance a woman in Africa and Asia walks to get water is 6 kilometres or 3.75 miles.

10 Years

In the last 10 years, more children in Africa have died from starvation than men have from weapons in World War II.
