Why Akina?


The way the world is right now, everyone needs help. Amidst all the chaos, we wanted to bring everyone some positivity with Akina, a platform we built to deal with various issues people are facing right now. Akina is your one-stop to get the latest updates from the World Health Organisation, to request for anything that you need and let the community help you. Akina aims to aid people by bringing them a platform to elevate individuals to become a community.

Features

The go-to place for everyone that needs help with supplies and wants to help out others in need of supplies. This section displays a continuous list of resources people around you are in need of as well as an option for you to add your requests. For the listed requests, you can either suggest a shop that can supply the resource or help them out yourself if you have some to spare. When a request is accepted, Akina provides a chat room between the requestor, the person who made the request, and the requestee, the person willing to help, to coordinate and facilitate communication.

News

One of the most important issue, to tackle during this time of crisis, is to stay informed but various sources spreading misinformation makes it very difficult to decide which resource is legitimate. Hence, we only bring you official news from The World Health Organisation to make sure each update we give you is credible.

In times of need, trying to find resources is not only difficult but stressful as well. The explore section brings you a list of resources, active organizations around you to help you get what you need with the least effort right when you need them.

Updates

We are actively finding sources, apart from W.H.O. For credible information and integrating them into the platform to provide information relevant not just to the global scope but to you as an individual.

We’d also like to mention that our project is completely open-source and we would welcome any Pull Requests that can help us to drive this project forward. You can find all our project repositories here.
