Problem Statement:

Students are lacking career counselling in Pakistan which ends up by choosing the profession of Doctor or Engineer and our youth is also facing serious mental health problems, depression and suicidal thoughts due to society pressures and job issues.

To minimize these kinds of problems and issues that I have mentioned above in the problem statement. I have decided to make an online portal or app which will solve and reduce the ratio of these kinds of issues. A lot of people want to help the poor and needy in our society but there are not proper authentic channels. So we will also try to overcome this issue through our online portal. I have taken the screenshots of some of the problems where people are asking for help in Facebook groups. I realized that there is a communication gap here and people have no platform to communicate in order to get the solution to their problems.

How we’ll work:

In order to solve this problem I have come up with the idea that we’ll search for some career planners\counsellors, psychologists, humanitarians, philanthropists and NGOs that are willing to help for the sake of righteous cause and God. We’ll get them on board and link them with our portal. On the portal the client (victim or needy person) will post their issues. The concerned specialist or a person who is willing to help will approach the client and solve their problem.

Features and Services:

  1. There would be an option of posting as anonymously or by name. So there wouldn’t be any privacy issues and identity will remain private.
  2. There will be a percentage meter. That will be shown in front of each query or problem of the client. It will be giving us a percentage of problem solved ratio based on clients review. So that the problem solvers can view the percentage and if it would be less than 80% they will be focusing more to solve that specific problem.

Motivation/Interview of affectees:

I have talked with some of my friends regarding mental health issues and helping the poor. They said we have experienced mental health problems due to job , family pressures and relationship issues. We didn’t know at that time what should be done to tackle this problem. If someone at that time would guide us we could save ourselves from ruining our mental health and time.

Another friend told me that sometimes I want to help poor white collar people that are helping hard to fulfill the needs of their families but I can’t differentiate between the fake and genuine ones which really need our help.
