Problem
Many individuals struggle to find a convenient and reliable way to donate used goods to local NGOs, often resorting to discarding items that could benefit those in need. NGOs, in turn, face challenges in acquiring necessary items to support their beneficiaries, lacking a centralized platform to connect with potential donors.

The platform simplifies the donation process by allowing users to specify the type of item they wish to donate and then connecting them with relevant organizations. Maszto facilitates direct connections, enabling donors to easily find NGOs accepting specific items and providing information on how to donate, whether through personal delivery, shipping, or organization pickup. By streamlining the donation process, Maszto promotes a circular economy and supports NGOs in acquiring the resources they need to serve their communities.
