AI-powered eco rewards platform for sustainable practices in Kenya, offering digital credits for green actions An AI-powered platform to reward sustainable practices in Kenya with digital credits. ## Overview EcoRewardsKE incentivizes eco-friendly actions (e.g., recycling, using public transport) by offering digital credits redeemable for discounts or services via M-Pesa. It uses AI for personalized action recommendations, fraud detection (e.g., verifying recycling photos), and behavioral nudging. ## Folder Structure - `frontend/`: React app for user interface (action logging, rewards display). - `backend/`: Django backend for APIs, user management, and rewards logic. - `ai-models/`: AI scripts for recommendations and fraud detection. - `docs/`: Documentation, including architecture details. ## Setup Instructions 1. **Clone the Repository**: ```bash git clone github.com cd EcoRewardsKE ``` 2. **Frontend Setup**: ```bash cd frontend npm install npm start ``` Opens the React app at `localhost`. 3. **Backend Setup** (not yet implemented): ```bash cd backend pip install -r requirements.txt python manage.py runserver ``` 4. See `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` for technical details. ## Next Steps - Develop Django models for users, eco actions, and rewards. - Build React components for action submission and rewards dashboard. - Implement AI recommendation system using scikit-learn. ## Contributing Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests.
