THE APP

This app is designed for migrant and refugee populations that call large global cities home and for the organizations that provide aid resources to them. The app will also be useful to homeless, impoverished, or otherwise underserved populations that also call these cities home.

Simply select the kind of aid you’re looking for (Health - Education - Job Resources - Legal Services), and find dozens of aid organizations pinpointed on Google Street Maps. Every organization has been researched and vetted to be trustworthy. Choose the organizations that are closest to you, and find a detailed list of information, including address, phone number, website, hours, populations served, insurances accepted, and more. You can also translate all of this information into your native language (currently available languages include Spanish and Arabic, with more coming soon). You can also use Google Street Maps to follow directions to the organization, or open directions in your rideshare app.

No login is required and we do not collect or store any data, nor do we track your location at any time. You cannot be tracked or targeted through this app.

HOW DOES THE APP WORK?

The app uses Google's Firebase storage to quickly download and locally source the database for a given location that we have data for (e.g. Amman). The user can then sort through the available data by filtering via a number of categories (e.g. food, health, immigration assistance, etc.). Each datapoint is represented as a marker on a local map, which you can then click on to see more information about that resource. Once you find your desired datapoint, you can open your preferred map app (i.e. Google maps), and you will be able to navigate to that point from your current position. The app is offered in many different languages—when you open it, simply adjust your preferences to display the data in your native language.
