Shaanu is a mobile app that enables neighbors to share unused food and household items, helping to alleviate everyday financial burdens. It connects those with spare resources to those in need, aiming to reduce waste and foster community spirit.
Do you have stuff lying around your house that you don’t need anymore? Maybe you’re moving abroad and can’t take everything with you. Or maybe you just want to declutter and make some space. But you don’t want to throw away perfectly good things, and you don’t know anyone who would appreciate them. And you don’t want to offend anyone by offering them something they might not need or want.
That’s where Shaanu comes in. Shaanu is a mobile app that lets you share your surplus food, household items, or even money with your neighbors. You can help someone who is struggling to make ends meet, or just brighten their day with a nice gesture. You can also find things that you need or want from other generous people nearby. Shaanu is more than just an app, it’s a community of caring neighbors who support each other in times of need.
With Shaanu, you can:
💎 Search for items that interest you and request them from the donor
💎 List items that you want to give away and choose who gets them
💎 Chat with other users to arrange the pickup or delivery of items
💎 Donate items to charity or goodwill organizations if you prefer
💎 Manage your inventory and track the status of your items
💎 Enjoy the satisfaction of sharing and receiving
@todak2000 I really want this to work. We need this to be the defacto behaviour before considering throwing things away. Are you focusing on specific markets for your launch? I’m based in Australia, let me know if we can help in any way!
Very good idea! There are similar apps on the market but I feel like all of them are about selling your items and not about donating them, simply giving away for free. Also, they are not about products like food, and I think if we knew our neighbours would want and appreciate the food we have and are unable to use there would be much less waste!
