Challenge
Orphaned children often lack essential documentation like birth certificates, making accurate identification and tracking is a significant challenge for NGOs. This gap complicates efforts to provide consistent care and connect children with appropriate resources.
As children grow, their facial features evolve, rendering traditional photographs ineffective for long-term identification. This makes it difficult to match older images with current appearances, hindering reunification or tracking efforts.Maintaining a comprehensive record of a child’s journey across shelters or care programs remains a struggle for NGOs. Fragmented or incomplete histories lead to gaps in understanding the child’s needs and circumstances.
Conventional systems often lack the capability to cross-reference data efficiently, especially for photo-based identification. This limitation creates barriers in connecting scattered information across multiple platforms or databases.Reliance on manual processes leads to errors, inefficiencies, and delays in critical interventions. These outdated methods consume valuable time and resources, often at the expense of timely support for the child.
Solution
ChildPPa leverages digital profiles, integrating AWS Rekognition to ensure accurate identification beyond traditional documentation. This provides a dependable foundation for tracking and managing records of orphaned children. To support onboarding organisations, ChildPPa offers both APIs and a SaaS-based UI, allowing them to choose a solution tailored to their needs.
