NGO Support Software Solution: for effective reachability

Abstract

In India there are currently a lot of NGOs working for noble causes. Citizens are also eager to contribute. Unfortunately for a lot of these NGOs there is a shortage or absence of IT infrastructure, hindering their reach and effectiveness. We aim to aid such NGOs and provide them with the necessary IT infrastructure to optimize use of resources and increase their reach for food and money donations. The project includes a cross platform mobile application which will help them manage their volunteers, get orders by spreading awareness through a social media module to connect to people who wish to support them in this noble cause. There are many freelancing developers and existing apps, the goal is to extract all the best features, figure out best platforms, harness latest trends and develop the app at a cost that the NGO can afford. Our literature survey of existing app gave insights about designing the necessary modules that we must have. To have the analysis of people’s attitude, habits and trends, studying papers related to social media trends inspired us to harness its power. The study of other kinds of systems using mobile applications, encouraged us to consider options of 100% cost free background, enabling us to generate an economical solution.
