To collaborate with worship places for meal distribution, follow these steps:
City & Region Selection: Choose the city and region where you'd like to provide support.
Select a Worship Place: Pick a local worship place that will serve as the distribution center for meals.
Purchase Meals: Order freshly cooked meals and water bottles for the homeless population through the platform.
Delivery to Worship Place: These meals are then delivered to your chosen worship place.
The worship place staff receives the meals and ensures they are distributed to the homeless community in the surrounding area. This process ensures efficient and targeted support for those in need.
Can Arrange operates on a locally informed and compassionate model. We have a legally appointed local representative in Ethiopia who collaborates with community stakeholders, including religious institutions and local authorities. This ensures that individuals and families in need, representing the most vulnerable in the communities we serve, are made visible to caring donors on the platform.
As a donor, you can access profiles of registered recipients, making it simple to select who you'd like to support based on their specific needs. With Can Arrange, you can be confident that your generosity directly transforms the lives of those who truly need it.
On the Can Arrange platform, you have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in several ways:
1. Supporting Individuals and Families:
As a donor, you can explore the profiles of registered recipients in the "Recipient" section of the platform. Take the time to read their profiles thoroughly and choose the individual or family you'd like to support.
Once you've selected a recipient, you can browse through local online stores within their community. Here, you can purchase items that you believe would be beneficial for the selected family. You also have the option to add extra items of your choice to your order.
The items you purchase can either be delivered directly to the recipient or made available for pickup at a local store.
2. Feeding the Homeless Community:
Can Arrange, in collaboration with our local partners, has joined forces with multiple worship places in selected towns and cities across Ethiopia to provide support to the homeless population in the form of cooked meals and water.
To contribute to feeding the homeless, all you need to do is select your preferred city and region for assistance and choose a worship place as the distribution center for the meals. Your contributions will go towards providing cooked meals and water bottles, which will be purchased and delivered to the selected worship place.
3. Supporting the Vulnerable and Communities Affected by Disasters through Local NGOs:
Can Arrange recognizes the crucial role that local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play in reaching communities, particularly in areas where access may be limited due to infrastructure challenges. As a response to this, Can Arrange has established partnerships with specific local NGOs actively serving impoverished communities in various towns, cities, and regions throughout Ethiopia.
Donors can easily lend their support to these NGOs by selecting their target area, purchasing essential supplies, and arranging for the delivery of these items to their chosen local NGO. These donations will then be distributed among the communities in need.
Your contributions through Can Arrange empower you to make a significant difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities facing various challenges, from poverty to homelessness, and those affected by disasters.
You can expect the entire donation process to take 2 to 3 business days from the time of your order placement. You can also track the status of your donation as it gets packed and delivered to your preferred recipient through the "My Account" section of our platform.
Order Notifications and Delivery Process
Once you place an order, Can Arrange Inc. ensures a transparent and efficient process. Here's how it works:
1. Order Notification:
As a donor, you'll receive SMS and/or email notifications of the transaction, in accordance with Can Arrange Inc.'s notification guidelines.
2. Notification to Local Supplier:
The local supplier is promptly notified of the order, along with all necessary delivery details.
3. Delivery Preparation:
For Homeless Population: If the goal is to feed the homeless population around worship places, the local food catering business responsible for the order contacts the chosen worship place and makes the necessary arrangements for food delivery. The designated contact person at the worship place takes charge of receiving and distributing the food to the homeless individuals in the surrounding area.
For Individuals/Families: In cases where the objective is to purchase groceries or other essential items for a specific individual or family, both the beneficiary and the local store from which the items were purchased are notified of the order. The individual or family can then collect the items in accordance with the donor's instructions.
4. Delivery Confirmation Video:
For Homeless Population: The supplier records a one-minute video capturing the designated contact person at the worship place receiving the goods on behalf of the worship location. This video includes essential details such as the donor's name, delivery date, specifics of the purchased goods, and the name of the worship place receiving them.
For Individuals/Families: The supplier records a one-minute video of the person receiving the items. In this video, the recipient mentions the donor's name, the delivery date, details of the received products, and their own name as the recipient.
5. Delivery Confirmation:
Once the delivery is completed, the donor receives a video confirmation of the delivery of the purchased products through their Can Arrange Inc. account, as per the donor's request. This video confirmation ensures full transparency in the delivery process, allowing donors to witness the impact of their generosity in real-time.
