Inspiration

Donation platforms fail to reach sufficient audiences, leaving high-impact campaigns neglected and under-funded: The median campaign raised less than $800 Less than 25% of campaigns reach their funding targets

With countless options and potential scam campaigns, donors struggle to identify causes that truly match their values: Overwhelmed by choice without clear guidance Limited awareness of campaigns aligned with interests Tax benefits and Zakat contributions frequently overlooked

What it does

Aggregates web-scraped donation campaigns into a chatbot which is accompanied by a map.

How we built it

Used Apify to web-scrape. Then we built a map to display that data with deck gl. We then decided to put it on a React app and add a chatbot.

Challenges we ran into

Hosting, Settling on one idea and starting to build before adding onto the ideas, as well as ensuring we had a working platform to work off of.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting a chatbot to run locally, as well as the map.

What we learned

We learned the complexities of web scraping, even with a tool like Apify. Also to prioritize having something tangible to work with before experimenting with features.

What's next for IHSN
