I am raising funds for an application that I created along with a few of my friends that would help people during affected during this lockdown.
One of the major problems that we are facing in this lockdown is that we are running out of necessary items like medicines or groceries and it is becoming very hard to get them. To address this we created a platform where people can broadcast requests that will be visible to others around them allowing neighbors to help each other out.
We are also reaching out to volunteering groups so that the message raised by an individual reached them and they become the first respondents to the request.
The app started out in hack the crisis India hackathon where it was selected as one of the top 30 ideas and which qualified it for the Global Hackathon where it ranked among the top 10 ideas.
How we plan to use the funds.
