सहारा(Sahara)

Sahara is designed to bridge the gap between generous donors, NGOs, and individuals in need, ensuring transparency, accountability, and ease of donation. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how our platform operates:

For Donors (Users Who Want to Donate):

• Donate with Trust: Users can donate directly to specific individuals or contribute to a general NGO fund for larger humanitarian efforts.

• Track Your Donations: Each user can see the history of their contributions, including who received the funds and the impact of their donation.

• Impact Reports: Monthly reports show how many people benefited, making the donation process transparent and ensuring donors stay connected to the causes they support.

For NGOs (Organizations Raising Funds for Others):

• Register & Verify: NGOs must register on Sahara with official documentation for verification.

• Raise Funds for the Needy: NGOs create posts for individuals who require financial aid, mentioning their name, reason for seeking help, total amount needed, funds raised so far, and remaining amount.

• Donation Tracking: NGOs receive real-time updates on how much money has been collected, from whom, and how funds are being distributed.

• Monthly Reports: NGOs can view reports on:

  • Total donations received and disbursed

  • Number of beneficiaries helped

  • New applicants requesting financial support

For Individuals Seeking Financial Help:

• Apply for Assistance: Anyone in need can submit a request, providing their reason, required amount, and supporting documents.

• NGO Verification: NGOs review the application, verify details, and create a public fundraiser post on Sahara.

• Fund Collection: As donations come in, the progress bar updates in real-time, allowing the individual and the NGO to track contributions.

• Receive Funds Securely: Once the required amount is raised, funds are transferred to the individual's verified account.

Transparency & Impact Reports:

• Daily Donation Reports: NGOs receive a daily breakdown of donations received, helping them manage funds effectively.

• Monthly Summary: NGOs can track:

  • Total funds received per month

  • Number of beneficiaries helped

  • Pending fund requests

  • Total number of donors

• Public Accountability: NGOs and donors can see how much money was raised and where it was spent, ensuring credibility and building trust.
