Covid-19 has created new challenges and has impacted many lives.
Due to the covid-19 pandemic, Residents in local communities are unable to get essential items and there are no existing apps where they can seek help
What is needed is an application that allows members in communities to connect and help each other by posting needs and offering support.
The goal is to provide a cross-platform application that enables community cooperation to fight against challenges associated with pandemics.
It allows beneficiary people (people in need of essentials etc.) to post their needs (for example, "I am running out of rice. Has anyone got a spare bag of rice?") so that other community members can offer support.
It also allows volunteer community members to donate/offer support by posting about what they would like to offer. Benefeciary people can accept the offer and receive support
- A User can post a new need or a new offer.
- A User can browse all needs and offers posted by all community members.
- The individual who posted the needs and offers can view their posts under the 'My Posts' tab.
