Challenge	YesHelp, a non-profit organization, was established to provide direct humanitarian aid to displaced Ukrainian women by connecting them with a network of local volunteers. The organization was faced with the challenge of creating a simple, secure, and effective communication platform that could overcome language barriers. The platform needed to safeguard users' identities and allow them to communicate in their native languages. The urgency of the situation, due to the ongoing war, required a mature chat solution with autotranslation capabilities that could be implemented quickly. Furthermore, the majority of the refugees being women, due to martial law restrictions on men aged 18-60, necessitated a focus on building a social network for women helping women. Read More
About Customer	YesHelp is a non-profit organization co-founded by Mark Angelo and Ukraine-native Oleg Grodzevich of OneIQ, a Fullstack Intelligence™ software company. The organization was established in response to the war with Russia in February 2022, with the aim of providing direct humanitarian aid to displaced Ukrainian women. YesHelp connects these women to a network of local volunteers who offer emotional support and help with donations, getting settled, child care, pet care, schools, and transportation. The organization focuses on building a social network for women helping women, considering that most of the refugees are female due to martial law restrictions in Ukraine. Read More
Solution	YesHelp vetted multiple chat vendors, including Stream and its top competitors, in search of a suitable chat solution. Stream's engineering and support teams were found to be the most helpful and responsive, which led to their selection. Stream's chat solution offered great APIs and fine-grained control over chat customization, which was highly appreciated by YesHelp's CTO, Oleg Grodzevich. Stream, moved by YesHelp's mission, donated its chat solution pro-bono. The chat solution was integrated using Stream's React SDK, with a focus on maintaining user privacy and creating a low barrier to entry for users. Stream's autotranslation functionality was invaluable in overcoming language barriers, making it central to YesHelp's platform. Read More Log in to view content
