Abstract

The CharitEase project addresses the challenge of connecting donors with recipients and streamlining the donation process through the development of a mobile application. With a background of widespread poverty and the need for efficient assistance, CharitEase aims to provide a user-friendly platform for individuals and organizations to make monetary donations, create fundraising campaigns, and donate physical items.

By leveraging the Agile methodology and utilizing technologies such as React Native, Node.js, and MongoDB, the application facilitates secure transactions, ensures data privacy, and offers an intuitive user experience.

The resolution lies in empowering donors to make impactful contributions and enabling recipients to access the support they require. The outcome will be measured by the success of campaigns, positive user feedback, and the overall societal impact of the CharitEase platform. Keywords: donation application, fundraising, mobile app, Agile methodology, impact, donor-recipient connection.

CHAPTER ONE

PROJECT OVERVIEW

1.1- Introduction

Thinking of poverty, misery, people with plans and great ideas but without means, orphans with a lot of lacks without leaving apart those people willing to give.

In that sense I thought of an application (a donation app) where people of good will can help with donations and therefore helping in building together the edifice of development, life in society and solidarity. “Ensuring the assistance of all the suffering one” doing so is solving the second technology sustainable problem that is ZERO HUNGER

1.2- Purpose

The purpose of this design project report is to present the development of a donation application called “CharitEase” using the Agile methodology. The report outlines the problem statement, motivation, background, scope, implementation and planning, expected results, and provides a summary of the project.

1.2.1- Problem Statement

The problem identified is the lack of efficient donation methods and the difficulty faced by individuals in need of help in finding assistance. Donors often struggle to identify the specific needs of people and organizations requiring assistance, while those in need may find it challenging to access the appropriate support.

1.3- Motivation

The motivation behind this project is to bridge the gap between donors and individuals or organizations in need of assistance. By developing the CharitEase donation application, it will be easier for donors to identify specific needs and make impactful contributions, while those in need can access help more efficiently.

1.4- Background

The background of this project lies in the context of Cameroon, where there is a need for a donation application that not only facilitates fundraising but also enables direct donations of various items such as clothes, shoes, and food. Existing applications in Cameroon, such as “MIYA,” have provided a platform for fundraising but lack the functionality for direct item donations.

1.5- Scope

The scope of this project is to develop the CharitEase donation application, which includes the following key screens and functionalities: Home screen (where the user will have a summary of all the information in the application that is to say have some information like urgent fundraising or even fundraising coming to an end, he can also see the impact of some donations), Donation Screen (where you see all your donations),

Fundraising Screen (where you see all the fundraising you have create and you can also create or edit a fundraising), Messenger (this is especially when you want to say thank you to the person who perform a donation), Profile, and Donation Box (here it is where you can donate others thing apart from cash). These screens and functionalities will provide a seamless user experience for both donors and recipients.
