Almost 5 years ago to the day, on June 15, 2016, the Children in the Cloud Foundation was officially created. And with it, naturally, its first website. This first website played its role perfectly at the launch of the project: to make known the Foundation and its will to build a school in the Simien, in Sona, to federate good wills and collect funds. It was also an essential tool for us to report on the Foundation's achievements, especially to our donors. 5 years later, Children in the Cloud had to develop its presence on the internet to match its new dimension and its new ambitions.
A more complete site
This new site is primarily designed to support the introduction of sponsorship for children in Sona to enable them to study at secondary school. The "sponsorship" section introduces children who are likely to continue their education and who are asking for your help to do so! Don't hesitate to view profiles of these remarkable children, then let your heart speak...
A multilingual site
The automatic translation offered by Google Translate was already operational since almost the origin of the site. But it was no longer possible to make do with it. We therefore decided to implement a true multilingualism of the site to offer a better quality translation in the languages most used by our donors, in addition to French. In particular in English and German. And beyond the quality of service provided to our visitors, the multilingual site will considerably improve the site's referencing in the translated languages. An important step for the development of the Foundation's work.
A new ergonomics of online payment
We have carried out an in-depth reworking of the crucial point of making online donations. The aim was to make it simpler and more efficient. We invested (reasonably) in an online payment module. Note that this is one of the few costs incurred by the Foundation in redesigning its website. All of this work has been carried out voluntarily by the Foundation's administrators. Our warmest thanks go to them.
New design
And a little change in form is good for us! We've adopted a design that could be described as more "professional". While we're very attached to the voluntary work of the Foundation's trustees, we're also keen to ensure the excellence of our work in the field and on the web. We hope you will appreciate our efforts.
The launch phase
Finally, we would like to ask for your indulgence during the launch phase. Many modules can only be truly tested once they are online... We are also counting on your vigilance to let us know, using the contact form, of any anomalies you spot. Thank you in advance!
