We Can't Help Everyone, But Everyone Can Help Someone. Our project is mainly focusing on treating poor mental health and fighting rape culture.
The problem Ummeed solves
It is definitely a social app for the use by the people, for their betterment in every ways. People can use this app for individual betterment as well as social betterment. Any person from any remote area/urban area facing domestic violene, sexual/mental abuse, mental depression, rape surviors can contact to any ngos, counsellors or activists through our app. This will allow them to reach their nearest NGOs or any NGOs across india.
Through our app, people can stay alert and also alarm their nearest and emergency contacts when they are in a trouble just by shaking their phone(10-20 times). We are providing a social platform for activist to spread the awareness among the people to stop the mental health ill practices in our country. It is a safe place to share their feeling with correct people through our app. People can access NGOs contacts and also can have a direct conversation with them through our chat app. We have also added a mental health assessment too(MHA), through which victims can asssess themselves, and if we find the assesment result to be quiet serious then we will be directly sending their request form to their nearest NGOs, so that they can help them as soon as possible.
Challenges we ran into
It was a challenge for us to build SOS alert activity( sending alert msg just by shaking). Then in the social activity, where people can post pics, videos to raise awareness about mental health and rape culture, we faced an error of firebase so we fixed that. And again talking to different NGOs and gathering all the info we needed was also a challenging task. And then errros related to java, layout designing was common while working over this app.
