Orphanage and Child Management System

Welcome to the Orphanage and Child Management System project repository. This system is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for managing orphanages and child-related information. It comprises a frontend built with React.js, a backend powered by Node.js, and utilizes a PostgreSQL database to store and manage data efficiently.

Project Overview

Frontend (React.js)

User Interface

The frontend of the Orphanage and Child Management System is built using React.js, a popular JavaScript library for creating interactive user interfaces. The user interface is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling users to perform various operations seamlessly.

Features

1. User Authentication: Users can register, login, and securely manage their accounts. Robust authentication mechanisms are implemented to ensure data security.

2. Child Management: The system allows orphanages to maintain records of children, including their personal information, medical history, and educational status.

3. Adoption Management: Users can track the adoption process, manage adoption requests, and view adoption records.

4. Donation Tracking: Orphanages can record and monitor donations, including financial contributions, supplies, and sponsorships.

5. User Roles: Different user roles, such as administrators, staff, and donors, are defined with appropriate permissions and access levels.

Backend (Node.js)

Server and APIs

The backend of the system is built using Node.js, a server-side JavaScript runtime. It serves as the core of the application, handling user requests, business logic, and database interactions.

Features

1. RESTful API Endpoints: The backend defines a set of RESTful API endpoints to handle various user interactions, including user authentication, child management, adoption requests, and donation tracking.

2. Database Integration: Node.js interacts with the PostgreSQL database to store and retrieve data related to orphanages, children, users, donations, and adoptions.

3. Security: Stringent security measures, such as data encryption, input validation, and role-based access control, are implemented to protect sensitive data and ensure system integrity.

4. Logging and Error Handling: The backend logs activities and errors for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.

Database (PostgreSQL)

Data Storage and Management

The PostgreSQL database serves as the backbone of the Orphanage and Child Management System, efficiently storing and managing data.

Features

1. Tables: The database schema consists of tables for orphanages, children, users, donations, adoptions, and other relevant data entities.

2. Data Integrity: Data integrity constraints, such as foreign keys, indexes, and unique constraints, are enforced to maintain data accuracy and consistency.

3. Query Optimization: SQL queries are optimized to ensure fast and efficient data retrieval and manipulation.
