This project is a case management system for abortion funds. Abortion funds are organizations that give grants to people who cannot afford the full cost of abortion care. Our primary goal with this project is to simplify routine case management processes, such as keeping track of patient data, pledges, and contact information.
This originated with the DC Abortion Fund (DCAF). Before this app went into production at DCAF, a team of 75 case managers were inputting around 3,500 calls a year into shared Excel sheets. Since adopting this system, DCAF and several other funds have been able to operate at a much faster pace, and lowered the stress levels of their volunteers. We now support multiple funds across the country.
Get started with the how-and-why of the project by checking out Abortion funds, reading case manager Lisa's explanation of an abortion fund's business logic, reading our Code of Conduct, and joining the #daria channel on Slack.
You can also check out some of the other buzz or read about how it's impacted DCAF.
While there's always work to do, we're focused first on being a stable app for our funds. Our priorities are dependency upgrades, technical stability and security improvements, and fund requested features.
A deployed public demo version of Daria can be accessed at https://sandbox.dariaservices.com/
It updates to match the current state of main.
