Help Ukrainians (Update from ramen.Labs)

Hi everyone,

We, ramen.Labs, continued to search for key burning needs of Ukrainian people and solutions that help.
We have an update since our previous post (https://www.indiehackers.com/post/ukraine-crisis-we-open-our-small-platform-for-ukrainians-to-use-5cdd958061): We identified the first, very pressing, problem space: Help Ukrainian refugees who now need to be integrated into the new environment. See Idea Outline below and let us know if you want to contribute.

Volunteering marketplace for Ukrainian refugees - Idea outline

Problem
The sudden influx of a large number of Ukrainian refugees to Poland, Hungary, Germany etc.
Usually in Germany, local organizations like integration centers and not-for-profit organizations attract volunteers to provide help to refugees. Help includes translation services, legal, recreation activities, education, job support, etc.
The process of matching refugees and services is fragmented and manual. Ach local site does their own. They use physical sites, eMail, and phones.

Solution (MVP)
We want to build a marketplace that matches local organizations and volunteers for Ukrainian refugees.
Organizations can select which services they need volunteering support for. They can choose between Remote and On-Site support.
Volunteers can choose organizations in proximity (or remote) based on a map and apply to these services. Users can chat via this platform and agree on terms.
Vice versa, organizations can search the volunteer database based on skills and services they provide.

Target users

Local refugee and integration organizations
People who want to volunteer

Value proposition

Refugees: assist the refugees to integrate in the new environment
Volunteers: Make an impact and get their skills to use for good
Organizations: Streamline process and better manage their scarce resources

MVP scope
