We invite you to explore and try out our new Humanitarian mobile App, we have developed to help the needy in communities world over.

'Gift-a-Deed' is a Humanitarian mobile Application which Uberizes Humanitarian needs & Emergencies on a digital map.

  • The App works by using Geo-location technology, (as used by a car ride hailing Apps like Uber), to indicate in real time needs and allows needs to be tracked and monitored in real time, view able in both private and public mode.
  • The App can help in real time identifying, monitoring and tracking of Humanitarian needs of Food, water, clothes, shelter, health needs, via live icons on a Google map. It also allows needy to find 'Resources icon' on a Google map which helps volunteers and needy on the ground to find help fast and changes in real time.
  • The App also enables an efficient response in disaster struck areas (flooding/typhoon/or other medical emergencies), allowing a common visual picture of needs on the ground, by allowing SOS signal with photo shown and the Location marker displayed on a Google Map.

Traction from United Nations
United Nations office of Geneva has reviewed and endorsed Gift-a-Deed App on their website via ITU:

We are a U.N.featured mobile App, aiming to Uberize charity & relief work by allowing people to digitally connect humanitarian aid with needs. Using real time notifications and geo-location tagging, delivery of humanitarian aid will benefit by:

  • Receiving real-time notifications of a need-type via geo-location tagging, on a google-Map.
  • Assist in better delivery & distribution systems via location-tracking and donor-fulfillment recording function on the App.
  • This will enable the relief workers also to receive crucial data/statistics of each need and geography.

Background of Gift-a-Deed

Gift of a basic necessity of food, water, clothing, shelter et all, to a Needy anywhere anytime. Gift of a platform to enable you do a Good-Deed today, without depending on any one organization or gov't. This is as they say in sharing economy, "Democratization of Charity".

Deed of doing good, or simply a Good Deed of helping a fellow human being for basic necessities of life, which nature out to have made it free for everyone.

Even Birds and Animals get the basic necessities of life free from nature, be it a wild Jungle or in vastness of the Oceans; a nest for bird in a Tree, or the wild grass lands for Herbivores animals to graze on or for that matter for a Fish in an Ocean of water.

Why then in a Human civilized world Jungle we have extreme Have & Have-nots. If we show compassion and share these basic necessities, which Animals have no problem sharing, wouldn't the world be a better place?

We believe it will be, thus was born the seed of this idea. Do a Good Deed today by Gifting a Need.

How does Gift-a-Deed app work

Taggers - doing a Good deed is as easy now- by just Tag & Post a Need anywhere anytime, using the Camera icon of the app, choosing the need & writing few words about the need. Just click on submit to post the need.

Tagging uses location based technology on Google maps, similar to the one used by any Car ride hailing app.

Fulfillers/Donors - can Gift a Need by simply using the app to find a Need they want to give.

To find a Need simply by opening the app and finding need icons (for food, water, clothes, shelter ) closest to their location. Just select the need by gently tapping the icon and then simply click on the Map icon on bottom right corner of the Map to take you to the location of the need. You may choose to display the picture of your gift by clicking on picture icon or by browse through your pictures.

Once a Need is gifted, you may click on the Gift now button. This will send a message to the Tagger that the Tagged need has been fulfilled. The system will also then show the need as fulfilled on the app.

There are 3 winners at the end of every donation of a Gift

Tagger, who did a Good deed by tagging the needy location.

Fulfillers, who did a Good deed by using the Tagged need location to fulfill the need.

Needy person who receives the Tagged need directly from the Fulfillers.
