While we are awaiting the announcement of the finalists, we thought we’d share with you some details about where the submissions came from.

The semi-finalist apps that we announced last week have been forwarded to our global network of around 600 end-users from Africa, China and Europe. From their feedback, three top teams from each category (company/student) will be determined. We expect to announce those teams on April 25^th.

Just want to show my happiness by creating this post!
Hip-hip hooray! We made it to the semi final.

Reviewers, please be kind to us!

Okay, that's our short post. Pray for us!

A small care, contribution and an act towards humanity can prevent this and make a significant difference. Hence CareFactor aim is to promote surplus and about to expire food to the needy through a proper distribution channel, Which does'n`t need time and require much efforts in one`s daily life.

Few of the World Hunger Facts which we can`t Ignore or avoid:

1.02 billion people in the world are hungry.
