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:
