# CharitySense

> Independent, AI-powered verification for charitable infrastructure. CharitySense provides real-time monitoring that confirms funded hospitals, schools, water wells, and orphanages are operational — giving donors, foundations, NGOs, and governments proof that their investments are working.

## About

CharitySense is built by OsciLabs. It is fully independent — not affiliated with any charity, foundation, or government body. Verification uses AI-powered analysis of on-device sensor data and edge computing, not self-reported metrics.
