Inspiration

PETARI was inspired by the pressing need to address hunger and food waste in India. The project's vision is to create a seamless system that redistributes excess food from events, restaurants, and households to those who need it the most.

What it does PETARI connects food donors with NGOs and individuals in need. Donors can list excess food available for donation, while NGOs and individuals can request food. The platform ensures efficient and timely redistribution of food, reducing waste and alleviating hunger.

How we built it We built PETARI using a combination of frontend and backend technologies. The frontend was developed with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript, while the backend was built using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. Authentication was implemented using OAuth 2.0.

Challenges we ran into One of the major challenges we faced was ensuring real-time updates and notifications for food donations. Another challenge was implementing a robust authentication system to secure user data and interactions on the platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of creating a functional and user-friendly platform that has the potential to make a significant social impact. Successfully integrating the various technologies to build a cohesive system and overcoming the challenges was a major accomplishment.

What we learned Through this project, we learned the importance of efficient database management and real-time data handling. We also gained insights into user experience design and the critical aspects of building secure web applications.

What's next for Petari (Food Donation WebApp) The next steps for PETARI include expanding our reach to more cities, enhancing the user interface for better accessibility, and integrating advanced features such as machine learning to predict and manage food donation patterns efficiently. We also plan to collaborate with more NGOs and organizations to maximize our impact.
