ABSTRACT
The charity organisations are often being criticised for their lack of transparency. They are in a sort of turmoil as people who are willing to donate money to charitable organisations take into consideration the trust factor i.e. they want a transparent view of the organisations in question. There is at time not a clear representation of the cash flow to the vulnerable ones in society and it is drastically increasing as a concern to donors. Many charitable organisations face several complaints, people keep questioning what is being done with their money. In addition, there is a focus on organisations who cannot set their time management on selecting the real needy ones or focusing their monetary mechanism; acting as a medium to help the vulnerable segment of the society. Some people might be acquiring help and support from various organisations, while some might be completely left behind. Blockchain as a underlying technology of Bitcoin system provides a new solution for the charity system in terms of technology. This paper proposed a charitable management system to organisations in such a way that the needy ones can be tracked and therefore achieving the ultimate goal of any charity organisation. The technologies being used are NodeJs, NextJs, Solidity, Semantic-UI-React which prove to deliver a final product capable of managing the charity features efficiently. The system enables a charity organisation to create a charity event that is broadcasted to all the users who can, in turn, donate. From there on, to deliver money to the destitute, organisations can create a request that requires authenticity verification by potential donors of the event. The system is expected to increase the transparency of charities and enhance the public's trust in charities as well as promote the development of philanthropy through blockchain-based technology.
