A PLATFORM FOR RESOURCE SHARING AND SOCIAL WELFARE

In today’s world, even though technology is growing very fast, many NGOs, donors, volunteers, and people who need help still struggle to connect with each other properly. There is no single platform where everyone can come together, and because of this, many problems occur such as food wastage, improper distribution of resources like clothes and study materials, and lack of clarity in social service activities. To solve this problem, the project Community Connect is designed as a web-based platform that connects all these people in one place. Through this system, donors can give resources and also track them, NGOs can manage and approve requests, volunteers can handle the collection and delivery work, and administrators can monitor everything smoothly. The platform includes useful features like role-based access, real-time tracking, location-based NGO search, and a dashboard to show the overall impact. It is developed using simple technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and backend tools such as Node.js or Django, along with databases like MySQL or MongoDB. By making the entire process more organized and transparent, this platform helps in reducing wastage, improving coordination, and making social service more effective. 2.0
