Help the less fortunate in a cash free society
In South Africa we have a lot of street beggars, traffic light sellers and car guards that we often get to know well traveling the same routes every day and we want to give them a small donations of change but so often these days people don’t have cash or change on them. It would be great if these people could register for the place they stand and list what they need, blankets food etc. then when you drive past the people they are geotagged and their face pops up on your map with a donate button. People could have an account that they top up when they want to and then set donation limits like one or two Rand per donation Money goes towards what they need. Once enough donations are gathered for a specific person they are given items on their list for that monetary value. The people who donated would get a notification to say the person they donated too now has food for the week or a blanket for winter or their kids school uniform has been delivered. Clicking on their profile could also share some information like their first name, home language etc which could almost act like a CV for them and make them feel seen, greeted by name and maybe even in their own language feeling accepted and uplifted.

In a cash-free society, it's essential to find ways to support the less fortunate while managing resources efficiently. Platforms like Balance https://www.balancecash.io/ are paving the way by offering tools to optimize enterprise cash management, ensuring that organizations can effectively allocate resources and provide support where it's needed most. By combining technology with social responsibility, we can create a sustainable environment where the needs of those less fortunate are met without relying on physical cash transactions.

I was talking to a friend about financial difficulties, and he told me that you can call groupon customer service https://groupon.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html and get a card with cashback. Even if you don’t earn much, small amounts start to accumulate, and thanks to cashback, you can save on everyday expenses. I thought this was a great opportunity for those who can’t afford large investments, but want to start saving. Small steps can lead to big results if you use such cards.
