Ibtisama
A donation experience and tools for managing charitable work
The need
Ibtisama is a Bahraini initiative supporting children with cancer and their families. Its previous website was hard for the team to update and treated a 1 BD donor like a shopper, while internal work was spread across spreadsheets, chat groups and notebooks.
What was built
The project combines the Ibtisama initiative’s website and donation experience with a system for managing internal work. The website presents programmes and news, lets donors choose donation amounts and dedicate a donation with a message and digital card, and provides confirmations and receipts linked to order status. This component uses WordPress, WooCommerce and a custom Arabic theme.
The management system, built with PHP and MySQL, includes beneficiary records, assistance requests and attachments, committee review and approval, memberships, volunteers and volunteer hours, events and reports. The project shows how donors, beneficiaries and staff can be served through components designed around each party’s role.
