HelpPy
"HelpPy" is an initiative implemented by the Paraguayan Red Cross with the support of a group of young civil society programmers that seeks to create citizen support networks to face the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The "HelpPy" website seeks to connect citizens who need help with those who want to help. Those interested can register to ask for help, to give help, or to volunteer. In addition, this citizen platform also contains updated information on donation and collection centers.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
