Buzz Aid
Buzz Aid is designed to help those who lack basic necessities. It's simple. You buzz, we help.
Buzz Aid is a project that I recently began working on, whose sole purpose is to help the poor. Many around the world lack necessities, such as clothes, food, or water. I believe that this project can be brought to life with some help. Buzzers could be distributed to all the low-income or no-income earners in the area, or distribution points could be set up, so the people could come to us instead. These buzzers, when pushed, will send a signal to a facility that collects donations of water, food, and clothes from people. The buzzers will have three buttons stating the purpose of the call: food, water, or clothes. It can only be used four times a day to prevent people from overusing it and tiring out the workers or volunteers. So when these buzzers are pushed, we take what is indicated that they need, and deliver it to them. Since many volunteers around the world try to help the needy, we can call out to some to assist in this project, or workers could be hired. The main purpose is to help those who need to be helped, and so when they buzz, we aid.
I am trying to help those who suffer every day from a lack of food, clean water, and clothes. There are millions of people, adults and children alike, who have nothing, so I wish to help them. This is a very big problem in my community because on almost every road I turn into, I see kids and adults begging for some food to eat or money. Poverty, disabilities, and illiteracy are some of the major causes of this. The lack of money or ability to make money for yourself and buy some necessary items is what causes this, and although there is no way to cure this problem completely, there is a way to help those who have fallen victim to it. Those who experience this are left hungry, thirsty, and naked almost every day, and so I believe that if Buzz Aid is made into something, these people can get the help they need.
My target population is those who earn little to nothing every day. Those who have nothing to call their own, and those who starve due to having nothing to eat or drink. If Buzz Aid is brought to life, then maybe not all, but some of them can have the things every human should have. If they're hungry, they'll have food brought to them. If they have no clothes, clothes will be delivered to them. I think that this would not only make them happier and more satisfied, but it may also make them feel more productive, and so they could strive to provide for themselves and not rely on us for long.
I just recently came up with this, so it hasn't been tested out on anyone yet, but I plan on making this happen one way or another. I have gone around and interacted with them a few times, and that was when I went around giving food to them with my friends. This is what encouraged me to start Buzz Aid, and so I believe that with some guidance, I can go somewhere with this.
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above
My solution stands to help those who lack food, water, and clothes. It will aid in bringing those things to them.
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
My solution is still on the concept stage because I just recently thought it up, and so I have not had the time to test it out on others, but I believe in the feasibility of my idea, and I think if handled the right way, it can make some serious changes.
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)
My solution is carried out with the help of buzzers. this is done so that when someone clicks on the buzzer, our attention will immediately be brought to what they need. The buzzer will also have to have a built-in GPS tracker, which will allow us to locate the person.

I believe that my solution will be able to affect a minimum of 100 people in a year if it is put into place. I do not have a maximum number of people I hope to serve. I just hope that I will be able to reach out to those who need this and help them accordingly.
I believe that I can achieve my goal of helping a minimum of 100 people if I can get someone who can guide me in bringing up this business.
I have no plan on this as of yet.
Right now, I am financially incapable of doing this. I also have a limited view of what can be done to get this started up.
I don't have much experience regarding this.
I am not currently partnering with any organization, as I just thought up this solution.
