iDonate Application: Revolutionizing Charitable Giving Through Technology

Abstract

The increasing need for charitable contributions in society has led to the development of various platforms aimed at facilitating donations. However, many existing applications need more user-friendly interfaces and efficient donation processes, which can deter potential donors. This project addresses these issues by developing the iDonate app, a mobile application designed to streamline the donation process and enhance user engagement. The primary purpose of this research is to create an intuitive platform that not only simplifies the act of donating but also encourages users to contribute regularly. The Agile software development methodology was employed to achieve this, allowing for iterative development and continuous user feedback throughout the project lifecycle. The methodology facilitated the identification of user requirements and the incorporation of necessary features, ensuring that the final product aligned with user expectations. Key phases included requirement gathering, interface design, and system modelling, which were crucial in shaping the app's functionality. The project's principal results indicate that the iDonate app significantly improves user satisfaction by providing a seamless donation experience. User acceptance testing revealed a high level of approval regarding the app's design and usability, with participants noting its straightforward navigation and appealing interface. In conclusion, the iDonate app successfully addresses the challenges existing donation platforms face, offering a solution that promotes charitable giving through enhanced accessibility and user engagement.
