Purpose: To deeply understand the social problem, affected communities, and existing gaps.

I am participating in a Social Impact/Civic hackathon and I am a beginner.

Analyze the following problem statement deeply.
[PASTE PROBLEM STATEMENT]

Explain it in very simple language.
Then provide:
1. The actual social problem being solved
2. Affected communities and target users
3. User pain points (Social, Economic, Cultural)
4. Existing ways people or organizations solve this problem
5. Limitations of existing social/civic solutions
6. Proposed social impact solution ideas
7. Core features
8. Nice-to-have features
9. What should NOT be built during a short hackathon
10. What could make this solution unique
11. A realistic MVP that can be built during a hackathon
12. Potential technologies, open data sources, and NGO/government APIs that could be used

Do not assume I am an expert in social work or civic tech.
Explain social impact concepts (Digital Divide, Last-Mile, Inclusion) in beginner-friendly language.
Highlight ethical considerations for vulnerable populations.
