Challenges of Bridging the Gap between Mass People and Welfare Organizations in Bangladesh
share
Computing for the development of marginalized communities is a big deal of challenges for researchers. Different social organizations are working to develop the conditions of a specialized marginalized community namely Street Children, one of the most underprivileged communities in Bangladesh. However, lack of proper engagement among different social welfare organizations, donors, and the mass community limits the goal of the development of street children. Developing a virtual organization hub can eliminate communication gap as well as the information gap by involving people of all communities. However, some human imposed stigmas may often limit the rate of success of potential virtual computing solutions intended for organizations working with the marginalized communities, which we also face in our case. After a partial successful deployment, the design itself needs to be self comprehensive and trustworthy in order to overcome the stigmas that demand a reasonable amount of time. Moreover, after a wide scalable deployment, it is yet to be investigated whether the design of our computational solution can attain the goal for the facilitation of the organizations so that those organizations can become more effective for the development of street children than before.
