Deed Witness

Real world good deeds, verified by a photo, a place, and a witness, saved forever.

Ngozi organizes a Saturday beach cleanup in Lagos. Volunteers check in with geotagged photos and a co-volunteer witnesses each one, and the city NGO later uses the record to give the top helpers internship priority.

Mission

Give every real world act of kindness a lasting record, so the people who keep showing up are finally seen.

The need

Volunteer groups and the NGOs that rely on them have no trustworthy record of who actually showed up. Sign up sheets and group chat photos are easy to pad, and the volunteers who come every week get no lasting credit for it when an internship, reference or scholarship asks for proof.

What it will never do

  • Put a photo or exact location onchain
  • Remove a saved deed without the organiser and volunteer seeing why
  • Publicly rank volunteers by default
  • Sell volunteer data to anyone
Owner playbook

Pick your voyage

Volunteer hours usually live in a spreadsheet that disappears when the organizer moves on. Deed Witness records each good deed with a geotagged photo and a co volunteer's signature, then issues a credential the volunteer keeps forever. Owning it makes you the organizer whose records count: NGOs, schools and sponsors can trust your events, and the platform fees and partnerships are yours.

Straight answers

Before you own it

I can't code. Can I run this for my events?

Yes. Event setup, geo plus photo check in, witness cosign, deed credentials and the organizer dashboard are built. You set the chain, name, colors and deed types, then deploy from your wallet with the guide.

Will volunteers bother with wallets?

Many will not want to at first. Use the simplest login the app supports and explain that the credential is theirs to keep. Run check in at the event with a helper so nobody gets stuck.

Can't people fake photos?

A single photo can be faked. That is why each deed needs place, time and a second volunteer's cosign. It is much harder to fake, not impossible, so describe it honestly.

What about volunteers' privacy and location?

Store only what is needed, let volunteers choose what is public, and avoid exact home locations. For minors, get guardian consent and keep profiles private.

Who pays for this?

NGOs, schools and companies running volunteer days. They need trustworthy impact records for reports and funders.
