TRACUS

Inspiration

I was inspired by the death of people by their inability to get help. People dying of hunger due to lockdown. Some are even flouting the stay-indoor directives because they lack provision to sustain them in this dire strait, this could further propagate the spread of the COVID-19.

What it does

Tracus informs people in the community about someone's needs, an interested potential helper then signifies via the platform and the needy will receive his or her contact to receive the help. The needy then return to assess the helper via the assessment form in the notification message. This response will be used to commend, warn or ban such helper. The warning or ban serves to reduce or prevent assist gesture pranks. Once this cycle completes, the request item is deleted.

How I built it

PHP website (www.tracus.net) and Mobile application (not yet released)

Challenges I ran into

Securing funds and managing time.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Ability to successfully build this amazing platform, and the mobile application that is now completely built.

What I learned

I learned that most people don't really need much to sustain living but just can't get any.

I also learned that some could go far to a detrimental extent to keep their dignity which is why our service is made in a way that preserves the dignity of the needy.

What's next for Tracus

Releasing Tracus mobile application.
