Kheir
Donate directly to people in need.
A charity app that connects donors to specific cases in need rather than a general fund, so a giver can see exactly what their donation goes to.

- Where to find it
Giving to a general fund is easy to postpone because it is abstract. Giving to a named case with a stated need is not, and that difference is the entire product.
Kheir lists verified cases with what each one actually needs, and a donor picks. The app is no longer listed on Google Play; the source remains available.
Challenges
Publishing a case exposes a family
The snag
The detail that makes a case compelling to a donor is the same detail that identifies a family in a small community. Maximising donations and protecting dignity pull in opposite directions.
What I did
Cases are published with the need described concretely but identity withheld, and verification happens out of band rather than by showing the donor documents about a real family.
