Improve existing donation system Key problems of the existing system :

  1. People in need are not receiving the right help - Charity organizations are incapable of catering to individual needs

  2. Lack of transparency in the charity funds - Who are actually receiving the money ?

  3. Time consuming process to apply for funds from larger organizations - There is a delay between requesting and receiving funds for those that require urgent support

We hope to build a platform that supports the common good and form a caring community.

What it does

This platform connects the people in need with kind-hearted individuals who will be able to support them

Provide Transparency

  • Donator knows exactly who they are donating to, and what the receiver needs

Eliminate the middle man

  • Donate directly to the people in need rather than through big organizations
  • Simplify the donation process

Promote the art of giving

  • A little goes a long way. A small contribution can have a big impact on others.

Crowd funding for a single request

  • Multiple individuals can support / donate to a single request
