Project Overview
Fondation Rehoboth is a humanitarian foundation in Benin focused on uplifting vulnerable communities through targeted initiatives in health, education, youth empowerment, environmental protection, and social support . This project involved building the entire website from scratch at fondationrehoboth.com, creating a modern, engaging platform to showcase the mission, projects, events, and facilitate donations. Key slogan: "Transformer des vies, un pas après l'autre".
Challenge
The foundation needed a professional online presence to raise awareness, attract donors, and transparently showcase impact. Challenges included starting from zero, integrating a secure payment gateway (FEDAPAY) for donations in local currency (FCFA), ensuring user-friendly navigation for diverse audiences (individuals, partners, beneficiaries), displaying real-time fundraising progress, and maintaining a compassionate, trustworthy tone aligned with values of humanity, solidarity, and love.
Solution
- Design & UI/UX: Built a clean, empathetic, and responsive design from scratch with modern typography, inspirational imagery, progress bars for fundraising, and intuitive navigation (Accueil, À propos, Nos Projets, Événements, Contact). Hero sections feature strong calls-to-action like "Faire un don" and motivational videos.
- Features: Custom project pages with detailed descriptions and fundraising trackers, event/blog section for news, integrated FEDAPAY payment gateway for secure, seamless donations directly on the site.
- Technology: Full custom development with secure payment integration (FEDAPAY), responsive design, and easy content management for updates on projects and events.
- Content Strategy: Emphasized mission principles (Humanité, Solidarité, Amour), Benin-centric initiatives (e.g., Orphelinat arbre de vie de Sakete), and community impact to inspire donations and partnerships.
Results
The custom-built site successfully positions Fondation Rehoboth as a credible, transparent humanitarian actor in Benin, enabling direct online donations and increasing visibility for causes like child events and food security. It supports real-time fundraising tracking and fosters community engagement, contributing to the foundation's goal of creating a fairer world.
