Time Spent on Assignment:
In order to make the world a better place, me and my partners came up with the
hunger problem in Africa for deliverable 1. Hunger is as much a cause as a
consequence of the poverty that keeps families in a vicious cycle from one
generation to the next. In other words, hunger and poverty are connected. Solving
hunger is solving poverty. Therefore we decided to help people in African who are
suffering hunger by donating through eft pos machine.

research
from
(http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Donation-
The main customer for us would be supermarkets like Pakn Save, Countdown, dairy
shop and some entertainment places. Their needs just want eft pos machine to work
perfectly as normal one. Our eft pos machines are built based on it and also provide
donation service for people who want to.
3.4 The Product and Service
There is a donation button on our eft pos machine. After customers complete their
shopping payment, they can press that button, and our machine will shift to the
donation system automatically. Payments of $5, $10, $15 are being electronically
donated. Also if you want to donate more, just enter the money you would like to and

complete it like usual payment on eft pos. People were using the machines they would have
definitely donated more than they would have if they were using cash.
(http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10910674). That is why we are not
only providing those three options that are the amount of donation.
The main partner that the eft pos machine will be collaborating with is Red Cross.
The main reason is we want to make people believe that peoples donation is sent to
somewhere authoritative but not a new personal charity organization. Otherwise
people might think their donation is not used for helping people who are suffering
hunger. Also we will work with banks therefore we can get the address of donators
because we will need to notify them when their donation has been received and
transferred to Red Coss
3.6 Strategy: Cost Leadership
On Porters Generic Strategies, this eft pos machine would come under Cost
Leadership, because produce a eft pos machine would not cost so much money.
The competitive scope of it would be broad market. The reason for this is that our
machine would be sold to Pak'nSave, Countdown and dairy shop. There are over 160
Countdowns(http://www.countdown.co.nz/about-us/our-company)
and
50
Pakn
The most important value chain activity for this business is Receive and store raw
materials.
Receiving and store raw materials would be the most important value chain activity
considering as the donation is the basic of all charity activities. Our key goal is to
help people get out of suffering hunger and we need donation at first, then we are
able to do so.
3.8 Business Processes
3.8.1. Receiving donation process -
directly. Our donation system is collaborating with Red Cross so we need to transfer
the donation to Red Cross first and let them sent donation to Africa.
3.9 Functionalities
3.9.1. Receiving Donation process

hunger problem.
3.10 Systems

activity.

Africa.

CONCLUSION
Overall, the actual industry of eft pos machine is not a attractive one and it is hard to
generate revenue. The eft pos machine is mainly aimed to help people who are
suffering hunger in Africa which is definitely as
donating through eft pos machine is more convenient than donating cash and coins.
Our ultimate goal is charity, we believe it can help people that suffer hunger badly
much more than we expect.
