Civic and Social Good
Serving society, where, one has used the resources, to grow is a small way of giving back to society. The community that nurtures a business deserves a payback in some form. It is observed that several successful global organizations today, contribute 5-10% of their annual profit for various community services. They provide in the form of time, resources, or money. Certain organizations even take it upon themselves to protect the community by being frugal and sustainable and some provide their services for the upliftment of society. Maplytics also offers its application and services for organizations that continuously contribute toward civic and social welfare.
Challenges in doing Civic and Social Good
Lack of funding and volunteers are not the only challenges often faced during community service. At times the helping organizations have both but are still lost due to hindrances in daily operations and process flow or the lack of them.
Visits to Unknown Client Locations
The places where help is required are new in many situations. The locations may not be always available, known, or familiar.
The volunteers working on-field may not be aware of the exact locations and paths to the old age homes, orphanages, second homes, injured/disabled workers rehabilitation units, broken homes, etc.
Finding ways to meet the ones in need is also difficult for the firefighter, social workers, primary caregivers, officials, and volunteers in case of emergencies
Finding easy travel routes to reach out
The field agents and volunteers also need to travel to far-off places to offer help and cure or relocate the needy in case of emergencies.
Organized and planned schedules to accommodate ad-hoc situations
The dedicated field reps and volunteers are often expected to rush to an area of requirement on an impromptu basis.
There are no practices to recognize troubled areas beforehand and apply pre-planned services in order to be aware or prepared for the requirement
Being alert in high-risk areas
Since the process flow fails to accommodate pre-planned forces of action, the regions and situations emitting risks in advance are left neglected.
Communicating effortlessly with the other stakeholders
In farfetched regions on the outskirts or emergency-stricken regions, communication finds a lull, hence sending the right help there gets difficult.
Having the right mode of communication, connection, and documentation aids the cause
