Dopomoha (support platform for refugees)

Dopomoha.ro is an information and support platform for refugees who request help in Romania. The web platform named Dopomoha, which means "Care for Romania", was developed as a response to the refugee crisis during the war in Ukraine. It allows NGOs, (unorganised) volunteers, and private companies to register their available resources, such as transport, food and housing. Moreover, national and UN agencies located in Romania can access and make use of the resources to help the refugees, for example with finding safe housing. Hence, the platform is a form of inventory where resources and needs can be matched in a similar way as done in sharing economy platforms. Currently, the solution is available in English, Russian and Ukrainian. The NGO Code4Romania has developed the platform in open source-code.
