Charity Crowdfunder for Pakistan

Heya folks, I'll be working on a charity crowdfunder for Pakistan. Any help you can give would be useful. Here's what you can help with:
- Discover and verify legitimate charity cases for this weekend: suppose we have 1-3 interesting charity cases, we need to verify the claim and make sure it is legitimate. Also, you will end up becoming the point person for the charity recipient.
- Development help: This is going to be a python/django stack attempt; if you know python, frontend html/css/js etc; you can chip in.
- Design: we haven't yet decided what we're calling this or how it's going to look
- Business Processes: How should we be collecting money, what are tax implications, how should we be sustainable? How should we collect and disburse money. Anyone experienced in this area would help!

    Maybe you have seen this article earlier https://propakistani.pk/2017/03/30/crowd-funding-not-allowed-pakistan-secp/

    Thanks Umair, I have seen this, it's along the lines of "innovation is not allowed in the country"; in any case, there are easy ways to side step this. Also, seedout.org has been operating as a interest-free crowdfunder for a number of years now, so there's precedent. Lastly, we don't need to call it a crowd funder, it can be a fundraising platform, every NGO/NPO does fundraising, this streamlines it, not exactly something new.

    Thanks Umair, there should be quite a few of these, but none of these are popular enough or widely used enough for anyone to care. We aim to change that.
