CHICAGO: Sahave, an initiative to link nonprofits, has announced the official global launch of The Platform for Social Change at an invitation only reception at the Sheraton Naperville on June11.

Five years in the making, the dream of its Founder and CEO Pradeep Kandimalla is officially a reality with the global launch of the first two of thirty-two modules as well as four applications supporting them. Pradeep Kandimalla stated, “There is great need in the world for social change, where neighbors help neighbors, as they did long ago, when there were no charities. People relied on their neighbors when things got difficult, and Sahave is designed to bring communities together through Nonprofits, and NGO’s, and cutting edge technology.”

Sahave brings together individuals, education institutions, businesses and nonprofits. Each can impact their local communities through collaboration and mutual goals for a better community and the world.

With the release of the Volunteering and Blood Donations modules, Sahave offers automation to grow social change and help save lives by automating the logistics involved with identifying and fulfilling needs of both people to support projects and get much needed blood to those when they need it seamlessly.

Sahave’s Kandimalla was frustrated to see that only large foundations and organizations could afford the solutions necessary to operate effectively, and smaller nonprofits were left to struggle, unable to maintain strong donor and volunteer bases. With over 20 years’ experience in information technology, including Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, the Internet of Things, Mobile Technologies and Enterprise Resources, he was determined to level the playing field.

Kandimalla said, “With Sahave we’ve created a platform that will revolutionize the way nonprofits operate. It will help them become more efficient, grow capacity, and improve sustainability. And it will be a solution that all nonprofits can afford.”

Called Sahave (Sa-ha’-vay), the mobile-first application platform is being developed by an international team of technology, business and non-governmental organization experts in the U.S. and India who are creating a way for organizations to effectively engage their communities in real time to communicate their needs, coordinate volunteer efforts, raise funds and execute mission strategies. While there are software packages that address some of these areas, none are as inclusive as Sahave and most are cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations.

The platform, its technology patent-pending, addresses the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 16.6 to “Develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels.”

Sahave is a suite of integrated application software modules that link nonprofits with individuals, businesses and educational institutions. Individuals can find organizations with which they would like to volunteer or donate; businesses can demonstrate corporate social responsibility by supporting community projects and campaigns; and educational institutions can provide opportunities for their students to develop soft critical skills such as interpersonal communication, teamwork, decision making and empathy.

Sahave will provide a single, real-time mobile platform for everyone in the community service system. Any of the four groups can initiate and promote causes or campaigns. They can also easily communicate and collaborate with each other and among themselves.

Initially, Sahave will offer free applications to build brand awareness and relationships, and to demonstrate the value of the system. Each user group can also implement additional modules including sponsor management, donor management, social media integration, volunteer management, grant management and predictive modeling, among others, for an affordable fee. The software will first be available this year in the U.S. and India with plans for global expansion in late 2019.
