Inspiration
NGOs and charities are struggling to acquire critical resources right now. There is no one platform where they can go out and make their voices heard.
What it does
Helping-hands is a single platform for Charities and NGOs to post their requirements( goods or financial ) , and for donors to be able to quickly donate to the best of their capabilities as quickly as possible.
