The Vice-Head of the Environmental Engineers Team at the Kuwait Environment Protection Society, Environmental Engineer Yousef Alramzi, affirmed that “the launch of the Society’s website in its new form stems from the importance of developing its digital tools in a manner befitting its history and journey that has exceeded half a century of environmental and voluntary work,” noting that “his initiative in preparing and developing the website came from the sense of responsibility he feels as a volunteer towards a civil society organization that possesses a large record of achievements, programs and initiatives that deserve to be available to the public in a modern and organized manner.”.
M. Alramzi stated that “working on the website was not merely a technical task or a redesign of web pages, but rather an attempt to contribute to highlighting the legacy of a long-established environmental institution and the journey of generations of volunteers, experts, and specialists who have given so much to serving the environment in the State of Kuwait.” He added, “When we deal with an institution that is over half a century old, we are not just dealing with a website, but with a history of work, dedication, and responsibility. It is our duty as volunteers to contribute our knowledge and experience to preserving this legacy and presenting it to future generations in a way that keeps pace with modern tools.”.
He emphasized the importance of documenting the efforts of the first generation and founders who laid the foundations of the association and contributed to establishing environmental and volunteer work in Kuwait. He noted that preserving their biographies, experiences, and initiatives represents a tribute to their contributions and serves as an important resource for new generations to learn about the beginnings of the journey, benefit from their expertise, and build upon it. He explained that the development process focused on reorganizing the website's content and facilitating access to the association's programs, initiatives, publications, news, and volunteer teams, making the website a comprehensive window to showcase the association's roles and contributions, while simultaneously serving as a platform to help the public access environmental knowledge and opportunities for participation and volunteering.
He noted that the website includes a significant portion of the association's knowledge and documentation resources, including its specialized publications, the "Environment" magazine, and its awareness, educational, and training programs, in addition to information about the association's history and its various areas of work. Alramzi added that the redesigned website incorporates the association's updated visual identity, a gift from the company "Rivina" as part of its corporate social responsibility and support for environmental work and civil society organizations.
He emphasized that implementing the new identity on the website contributed to creating a more consistent visual language through fonts, colors, logos, and presentation mechanisms, linking the association's digital presence to a unified institutional image that reflects its personality, mission, and history. Alramzi stressed that volunteer work is not limited to participating in field activities and events, but also includes each volunteer contributing their knowledge, expertise, or skills to serve the organization and the community. He added, "Preserving and showcasing the legacy of the Kuwait Environment Protection Society is a shared responsibility. What we are providing today in terms of digital and documentary tools is an extension of the efforts of those who came before us, a means of conveying more than half a century of environmental contributions to new generations, and motivating them to be part of the journey of environmental volunteer work in Kuwait.".
Mr. Alramzi concluded his statement by pointing out that “the process of developing the site will not stop at rebuilding and organizing, but will include conducting a survey and evaluating the user experience in order to measure the impact of the development and to learn about the opinions of visitors regarding the ease of access to information, the clarity of the sections and navigation between them, and the quality of the presentation and content, stressing that benefiting from the results of the evaluation and the feedback of the users is an essential part of the continuous improvement process, and that the site will remain open to development and the addition of more content and services according to the needs of the public and the development of the association’s activities.”.
