Abstract: India is the 2nd largest populated country in the world, with around 1.35 billion people living. About 158.8 million
of the population are children below the age of 6. Out of these children, we have 30 million which sums up to a overall portion
of the youth population. Among these 30 million children,we have only 370,000 of them who are in orphanages Now since
the Covid-19 has hit us in 2020, more than thousands children have lost their parents and has left orphaned. To solve this
problem, we have come up with our website named OrphanAssist, where people who wants to help a orphan with a safe
home can make a good use of of our website. This system will not only invest in the process of giving shelter to the orphans
but also enhances their life by donating food, clothes and money if needed. In our website, we will have a option of camera ,
where a person will upload a photo of a orphan he wants to help with and with that photo a location link will be sent to
registered orphanage so that they can reach out to the orphan for the help they need. And to motivate people to contribute
more to help orphans we have added reward system where when a person completes certain amount of help he will be
rewarded with some points and at the end he will receive a certificate of social service.Also we are adding a chatbot in our
website to make easier for the visitors to search for orphanages they want.

Keywords: Orphans, Shelter, Chatbot, Donation.

 This paper presents an Android application that connects

people with orphanages, allowing them to donate food,
clothing, or money online. Users can also browse profiles
of children available for adoption, select a child, and
complete the adoption process by visiting the orphanage.
This system basically focuses on the adoption system.
This paper gives a insight into making user and chidren

 Furthermore, this paper introduces a web application for

adoption agencies, facilitating donations of money and
materials by allowing users to view specific needs and
make contributions online. It uses Haar wavelet equations
to efficiently connect donors with nearby schools,
reducing manual effort, and includes features like online
payments and search filters for targeted charity selection.
Here, Haar wavelet equations is equation which gives you
the nearest orphanages to reach out to.
