KASIH is an iOS-based breast milk donation platform for mothers and infants in the Jabodetabek region. KASIH employs advanced algorithms to facilitate location-based and preference-based filtration, ensuring precise connections between potential donors and recipients. By implementing an automated verification system for personal data associated with breast milk donation, KASIH ensured the accuracy and authenticity of user information. Moreover, KASIH also simplifies logistics by offering a comprehensive solution for scheduling pickup times and arranging couriers within the platform. By combining location-based and preference-based filtration, digital efficiency, and automated verification, KASIH stands as a professional and reliable platform that facilitates connections between breast milk donors and recipients.

Breastfeeding is the process by which human breast milk is fed to a baby. Breast milk may be from the breast, or may be pumped and fed to the baby. Breast milk is crucial for the first 6 months of a baby’s growth. However, there are only 52.5% of Indonesian babies under 6 months were exclusively breastfed in 2021. This could be caused by many factors such as lack of maternal breast milk production, lack of government support, and so on. On the other hand, some mothers experience an excess of breast milk. They produce more milk than the baby needs, leading to storage overcapacity. Both mothers with a lack and excess of breast milk encounter distinct challenges, and they can help each other as a donor and recipients. However, impediments such as health screening criteria, religious considerations, and governmental regulations pose constraints on the process of breast milk donation. Therefore, we would like to create a platform that facilitates a transparent and efficient breast milk donation process.
<aside> 🎯 Creating an app that simplifies the breast milk donation process for breastfeeding mothers when experiencing either insufficient or excess breast milk production, so the number of babies under 6 months that were exclusively breastfed in the Jabodetabek area was increasing.
