Women in pakistan are attacked everyday, everywhere. We wanted to provide one solution to help these women report incidents, support their needs and minimize future occurances.

We can build a integrated platform in a 3 prong approach

  • an automated phone system which allow discrete reporting and connect to the right NGO
  • a mobile app which allow discrete reporting and connect to the right NGO
  • a database created from call info to generate useful info (e.g. hot spot) to focus NGO support deployment

How I built it

-We used ruby gem and twilio to make this phone system.

Challenges I ran into

  • Spreading the word, getting users
  • Getting the initial funding for this project

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

-we implemented the phone system -we created prototypes and risk, cost analysis for our future mobile application

What I learned

  • smartphone availability is not as wide as we think it is -we learned about the issues in Pakistan.

What's next for iHelp

-make it Global -make the mobile application -we are making it easy for women to report and contribute to the society by empowering women in Pakistan
