Introduction
In a world where resource waste is rampant, developing a safe and efficient donation system is
crucial. This proposal outlines a project aimed at creating a secure web based and mobile
application platform for donations that will minimize resource wastage and provide essential
support to those in need.

Background
Resource waste has become a significant global issue, leading to environmental degradation
and missed opportunities to help those in need. Many items, including food, clothing, and other
essentials, often end up in landfills when they could be repurposed through donations. By
developing a safe donation system, we can redirect these resources to support individuals and
communities in need.

Problems
The key problems addressed by this project include:
 High levels of resource wastage
 Lack of a secure and efficient donation platform
 Inadequate support for individuals and communities in need

Objectives
General Objectives
To create a safe and efficient donation system that minimizes resource wastage and provides
essential support to those in need.

Specific Objectives
 To develop a secure platform for collecting and distributing donations
 To reduce the amount of resources that go to waste
 To enhance support for individuals and communities in need
 To increase community participation in donation activities

Hypothesis and Research Questions

Hypothesis
Implementing a secure donation system will significantly reduce resource wastage and increase
support for those in need.

Research question
What are the most effective strategies for developing a safe and efficient donation system?

Scope / Delimitation of the study

This study will focus on developing and implementing a donation system for not a specific
community or organization (we will announce the organization as we meet at agreement). It
will analyze current donation practices, identify key areas for improvement, and implement
measures to enhance the safety and efficiency of the donation process. But the study will cover
other communities or regions outside the specified context.

Methodology
The methodology will include:
 Conducting a needs assessment to identify the most pressing resource needs within the
community
 Developing a secure online platform for donations

 Implementing protocols for the safe collection, storage, and distribution of donated
items

 Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the donation system through regular
assessments

Significance of the study

This study is significant as it aims to address the dual issues of resource wastage and
inadequate support for those in need. The benefits include:
 Reduced resource wastage and environmental impact
 Enhanced support for individuals and communities in need
 Increased community awareness and participation in donation activities
 Strengthened community bonds through collective action

Literature review
Resource waste control and donation systems are crucial for sustainable development and
supporting those in need. This literature review explores various approaches and successful
implementations of waste management and donation systems, highlighting key findings and
best practices.
According to the article on Funds for NGOs, securing funds for waste management and recycling
projects is essential for their success. The article emphasizes the importance of identifying
potential donors, creating compelling proposals, and demonstrating the project's impact on the
community and environment

The GitHub repository "FeedOn" presents a comprehensive food waste management system
that connects food donors with beneficiaries. The system includes features such as food
donation tracking, inventory management, and real-time notifications for donors and recipients.
This project demonstrates the potential of technology in reducing food waste and supporting
those in need.

Budget Scheduling
As there are no costs associated with our project, a detailed budget schedule is not necessary.
The focus will be on utilizing available resources and leveraging community participation.

Time scheduling
The project will be conducted over a period of 4 months, with key milestones including:
 Month 1: Documentation
 Month 2: Design the whole system
 Month 3: Website development
 Month 4: Mobile app development

Conclusion
In conclusion, this project aims to develop a safe and efficient web based and mobile
application based donation system to minimize resource wastage and provide essential support
to those in need. By implementing targeted measures, we can achieve significant benefits for
the environment and the community. The study's findings will contribute to the development
of sustainable donation practices and promote a culture of resource efficiency.
