DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A HYBRID WEB APPLICATION FOR CROWDFUNDING FOR EDUCATION
Abstract
In Nigeria, many students struggle to access quality education due to a lack of funding, while traditional
fundraising methods often fail to inspire trust or reach enough donors. This study presents a hybrid
crowdfunding web application designed to solve these issues by combining the benefits of cryptocurrency
with familiar Naira payments. The platform uses blockchain technology to make cryptocurrency donations
secure, transparent, and easy to track, while also allowing local donations in Naira for those who prefer
traditional methods. Key features include verifying users, updating donors on how funds are used, and
directly transferring money to recipients, ensuring trust and accountability.The web application creates a
simple and trustworthy way for people locally and globally to support education. In the future, the platform
could add new features like detailed reports and tools to connect donors and causes even more effectively.
