Project overview
Diaspora Support Community Network (DSCN) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to driving
social impact projects, empowering communities, and building partnerships across borders.
The organization began its journey in Benin, Edo State, Nigeria, its home base and community
of origin, before expanding outreach to wider audiences. The website project was aimed at
creating a digital hub to showcase DSCN’s mission, highlight its work in Edo State and beyond,
and connect with partners, volunteers, and donors globally.
Client challenges & requirements
Before engaging with our team, DSCN faced several challenges:
-
Limited Online Presence: The organization lacked a central digital hub to communicate its activities.
-
Stakeholder Engagement: They needed a structured way to showcase their projects, achievements, and partnerships.
- Donation Management: The existing system for donations was manual, making it less efficient.
- Transparency and Credibility: The absence of documented project history, success stories, and FAQs limited trust from potential partners and supporters.
- Scalability: They required a platform flexible enough to grow with new initiatives and campaigns.
Project solution
Our team designed and developed a website that directly addressed DSCN’s needs:
- Modern, Responsive Design: Built a user-friendly interface adaptable across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
- Project Portfolio Section: Structured pages for completed, ongoing, and future projects, starting with Edo State programs (solar panel light project, fundraising event, notebooks initiative).
-
Action-Oriented Content: Highlighted local impact stories from Benin, Edo State, while presenting the broader vision.
-
Donation System: Recommended a secure donation system similar to other charity organizations, avoiding direct account number display.
- Partner Visibility: Added a dedicated page for partners with logo displays.
- Volunteer & Member Profiles: Included space to showcase individuals driving DSCN’s work.
- FAQs and Contact Form: Added a self-service FAQ section and easy communication options.
- SEO and Analytics: Optimized for search engines and integrated Google Analytics for performance tracking.
Result and impacts
The new website provided DSCN with a strong digital foundation:
- Enhanced Credibility: A professional online presence increased trust among stakeholders and potential partners.
- Improved Engagement: Visitors could now access clear information on projects, actions, and partnerships
-
Streamlined Donations: Transitioned from manual account sharing to a structured donation approach.
- Showcase of Impact: Documented history, success stories, and visuals highlighted the organization’s tangible contributions, especially within Benin, Edo State where the journey began.
The website positioned DSCN for greater visibility, improved donor confidence, and stronger community engagement both in Edo State, Nigeria, and internationally.
