We started investigating something around us that we usually don't perceive.
There were many possible options to make an app for, but finally, we decided to concentrate on a problem that we have already faced. When you have time to help, it's difficult to find a place that concentrates all the possibilities and all the information about different NGOs. You lose a lot of time, seeking information.
Volunteering is a classic thing to talk about, and probably one of the first things that come to your head to talk about when it comes to society.
It is so common that we think sometimes the topic goes unnoticed.
We found out that it was difficult to find a place where volunteer or start volunteering in a new place.
During the investigation, we decided to carry out the survey to confirm that the difficulty we experienced was indeed real. Approximately, 250 people participated in the survey.
And here are some responses we had:
AGE
HAVE YOU EVER PARTICIPATED IN A VOLUNTEER
WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND VOLUNTEERING INFORMATION EASILY
DO YOU KNOW ANY NGO AND THEIR OBJECTIVES
ARE YOU VOLUNTEER FROM ANY NGO
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED DOING A VOLUNTEER ABROAD
DO YOU KNOW ANY APP THAT ALLOWS YOU ACCES TO DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES OF VOLUNTEERING
WOULD YOU DOWNLOAD AN APP THAT ALLOWS YOU ACCESS IN A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO DIFFERENT VOLUNTEERING, BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
WAW also focuses on the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). First, we emphasize SDG 10, which addresses the reduction of inequalities. As mentioned earlier, NeedU aims to reduce inequalities worldwide and support those in need, no matter where they are. That’s why our primary mission is to promote volunteering activities and allocate all profits to non-profit organizations. For instance, we support NGOs focused on Third World countries, such as the Philippines (Kalipay Project) and Uganda (Kukura Project).
Secondly, we also focus on the following SDGs:
1 ) No Poverty
2 ) Zero Hunger
3 ) Quality Education
4 ) Gender Equality
5 ) Reduced Inequalities
6 )Peace, Justice, and Strong Institution
