The problem Fit4Cause solves

Many small-scale NGOs working at the grassroots level often struggle with funding for two key reasons.

1. Corporations required to allocate funds for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives often partner with larger NGOs, leaving smaller organizations at a financial disadvantage.
2. Limited public awareness of these smaller NGOs further hinders their ability to secure funding.

Fit4Cause, brings a unique solution to the above problemFit4Cause offers a unique solution to these challenges!
This activity-tracking app converts users' physical activity into virtual coins that can be donated to their chosen NGO. By gamifying charitable giving, Fit4Cause tackles the critical issues of limited funding and public awareness, preventing the closure of valuable small NGOs.

Challenges we ran into

• Converting FitCoins to real currency posed a key challenge, especially in defining the conversion criteria.
• Managing multiple use cases emerged as a challenge, particularly concerning users who wished to donate independently of any corporate affiliation. Originally designed solely for employees, our app needed to accommodate diverse user preferences and intentions.
• Overcoming technical complexities in cross-platform integration (web and app) and real-time data sync between fitness devices.
