# BuildGood

> BuildGood, the Ramadan Global Buildathon, is a free five-day online buildathon from 7 to 11 December 2026. Muslim builders around the world pick a real Ramadan need and turn it into a working app. Hosted by LaunchGood. Up to 1,000 ideas, online and at local hubs.

## Key facts
- Name: BuildGood (also: the Ramadan Global Buildathon)
- Dates: Monday 7 to Friday 11 December 2026
- Format: online, with optional local hubs. The kickoff and the showcase are live and virtual.
- Cost: free to join
- Who: anyone with a Ramadan idea. No coding experience needed; teams welcome.

## How it works
1. Apply with an idea: the Ramadan need and who it helps.
2. A person reviews every application. Accepted builders get the kickoff details, perks to use during and after build week, exclusive presentations during build week, and a shot at the prizes.
3. 7 December: kickoff. Everyone starts from a blank project.
4. 7–10 December: build, online or at a local hub.
5. 10 December: submit a working app link, a demo video of three minutes or less, and a short note.
6. 11 December: finalists demo live to the global community; winners are announced.
