Keeping people safe during the pandemic with quality service

About


Hello. My Name is Providence Moyo, a 24 year old male from Zimbabwe but currently residing in Botswana. When this pandemic hit Botswana, most of us where not ready for it. Businesses had to close abruptly and most people lost their jobs due to this (me included). Many people depended on daily sales to keep families fed through vending on streets and all. Due to the nature of the virus, most people were no longer able to have an income to their name. It became a very stressful and challenging situation on how we could make a living. The government recently lifted the lock down and allowed business to open as usual. The challenge we have now is that all these shops tend to have queues of over 50-100 people waiting to get in to the shop and some can wait there for over an hour due to the slow services and other people exploring around the stores. Also this prolonged exposure to other people causes a health risk to many. 

My idea is to have a platform, both web based and mobile based where shops are able to sell their products to customers from the comfort of their homes without them not leaving their houses and have them delivered to their doorsteps. 

Most of the money i am requesting is going towards the website development as a simple eCommerce website here goes for $800 minimum. The rest of the money will go towards delivery cost, packaging as well as donations to buy food hampers for the less fortunate like the street vendors. This also will create job opportunities for some of the people who lost their jobs and others who are not employed yet.

The quicker we are able to reduce the amount of people leaving houses to go pile up at malls and shops, the better we are at fighting this virus and keeping people safe. I would be really glad if i could get your help before the 10th of June 2020, looking at that winter is almost here and it will even become more challenging to move around and even riskier to be outside with this pandemic.

Any small amount you are able to spare will go a long way to helping some one else. Thank you very much for your support.
