The problem Donate India solves

So much is happening right now and we feel privileged sitting in our homes, while people are struggling to even get food and basic healthcare. Such incidents stir up our emotions and we actually want to come forward and help the deceased but a number of doubts about the legitimacy of the destitute creep in. Donate India is an Ethereum based blockchain system that will not only provide a platform for various organizations to gain trust of the common public but will also ensure transparency for the donors.
When a campaign is registered, the campaign curator will provide us with proofs and estimated operation cost for the campaign which will be further verified by us before publishing it on our website. It will impact education, health and environment sectors and also help the deprived by providing funds for their required needs. A smart contract will block the funds within blockchain until the transactions are approved by us. Also, it will restrict the funds if goal money of a campaign is reached. The remaining amount will be sent back to the donor that they can use to contribute to another campaign. Every transaction is handled by a peer-to-peer network, and written in the blockchain's distributed ledger. It reaches the charity without delay as Matic supports faster and cheaper transactions for ethereum and provides us a fast and secure user- experience. Along with the transaction, activity records of each campaign will also be kept in the ledger for the donor to see how their money is being used. Our product will ensure transparency and help reduce fraud. Through our platform we will ensure the campaigns are legitimate and we will also cover the impact checks. Our people are our resources and if each one of us commits to giving regularly, we will be strong enough to solve our problems such as poverty, lack of education, starvation etc. This won’t take much out of our daily needs but will be a big step towards changing someone’s life.

Challenges we ran into

Since we majorly work on centralised systems, getting ourselves into the dApp ecosystem was a big step out of the comfort zone. The whole visualisation of how a dapp works was a major hurdle. Thankfully, the documentation was really good and helped us move forward with the development of our first block-chain based application. Working together on a project virtually was also a hurdle for us but kudos to the platforms like anydesk and google meets which enabled screen sharing and helped us a lot in better communicating with our teammates.
