GiveLife: Blood Donation Matcher and Project Cowdfunding for Birzeit University

GiveLife provides a platform for blood banks, agencies and blood collection services to gain access to potential blood donors in their vicinity. The hospitals, blood banks, and collection services centers will register with GiveLife. When any blood bank has to find a donor for a specific blood type, it will be matched in our database. Nearby users will receive notifications through their app and will receive instructions regarding how, when and where they can donate blood. GiveLife application will be available on supported smartphones. The application will be free to download and will be initially available for citizens residing in Palestine only. They can view, review and get directions to the selected hospital and donation center location as well. The database will also enable us to create a singular platform that connects the patients, hospitals, and donors in one platform.

There will be a feature in the app called “Donate Now.” Using this feature, users will donate to collaborating hospitals and other organizations in our network from within the application. The application will have a built-in payment system which people can use to make donations to different organizations as well as keep a historical record of all the donations they make. Organizations will upload details about various campaigns, which users will be able to review and donate to from this section. For example, a hospital may need to purchase an Xray machine. They will upload details of their machine and the amount they need to raise. Users will click on this donation campaign and decide how much they want to donate. This amount will be deducted from their registered debit/credit card. Once donated, the user will receive a thank you message from our company as well as the organization that was running the donation campaign. Users can make multiple donations into each campaign and track the total funds raised for each campaign.

When a campaign is completed successfully, we will request the organization to issue a public video statement thanking all the participants of the campaign for their contributions. In addition, they can also upload a video of the machinery/equipment/outcome of the campaign. This will motivate and encourage people to keep donating while also stimulating others to donate as well. Give Life is a social and lifesaving app. Users will have free access to the app. The app will be easy to navigate and use.
