Needs and Offerings Bazaar Covid.do

The Needs and Offerings Bazaar is a collaborative project within the online site Covid.do, created in 2020 by several civil society organizations in order to contribute to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in the country. This website fosters the connection and exchange between organizations or individuals offering donations or services, with people in need due to the public health crisis. Any person can participate in this collaborative project through the Bazaar?s website. The project has been built as an online platform in order to use digital technologies as a means of facilitating the collection and visualization of information, as well as the administration of the solidary exchanges between people who would otherwise not be touch.
