Inspiration
COVID-19 has generated social, economic and health issues globally, overwhelming current healthcare institutions and governmental organisations, thus creating the need for more social enterprises (SE) to address social needs. However, these SEs need support, since they face major challenges.
We created Seek&Send in order to address these challenges by creating a support system via a forum, where SEs can exchange information with one another.
Our sources of inspiration:
- raiSE <3
- Quora
What it does
- Serves as a forum/platform for SEs to share their knowledge/ask burning questions
- Serves as a consolidated platform of existing resources from RaiSE/membership resources
How we built it
- Prototyping/wireframing using Figma
- Implementation using React Native
Challenges we ran into
- Time constraints
- Manpower constraints (Just the 2 of us :'))
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have finished this within 1 week with only a team of 2 where both of us were also busy with internships.
What we learned
- Teamwork
- Collaboration
- Understand further the challenges faced by SEs, especially within the COVID-19 context
What's next for Seek&Send
- Finals? :)
- Further expansion of the app's functionalities: Connections (like LinkedIn), Incorporation with raiSE's current membership portal etc.
- Promotion of the app to relevant parties to encourage growth of the SE community
