C095 NoorElhajj

For Piligrims who need assistance in a short time. Noor Hajj allows volunteers to communicate, help and save lives

Comment

Inspiration

HealthCare may take time for transportation to reach the beneficient pilgrim, which increases the risk of crowding. Furthermore, the difference in languages may affect the communication between the volunteering and the beneficient pilgrim. We found out that there is a high number of interested and skilled pilgrims willing volunteer but have no convenient way to do it especially on the go. Thus, the ability to reduce both time and transport costs while helping pilgrims is very inspiring.

What it does

Our mobile application relies on a network of skilled volunteer pilgrims to provide the necessary assistance(guide lost pilgrims, make an announcement) for the beneficent ones.

How we built it

The application started from the beginning with the aim to be cross-platform. With the help of React Native our application can run on any platform iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

Challenges we ran into

Building mobile applications with React Native comes with implementation caveats.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the simplicity of our application, and the fact that we realized a good portion of in such a short time.

What we learned

We learned more about the challenges that pilgrims face during Hajj.

What's next for NoorElHajj

Expanding the network of volunteers in every country to mentor pilgrims before and during Hajj.
