Project Overview
Kulen Outreach is a Cambodian non-profit supporting children from rural communities around Phnom Kulen in Siem Reap Province. The team already had a website, but the mission, programmes, and impact were not coming through clearly. We rebuilt the site to tell their story better, guide visitors to donate or sponsor, and make it easier to find information fast.
If you need a donation platform that explains your purpose and converts support into action, Olive & Lake can design, build, and launch it for you. Get in touch for a free consultation.
Design Approach
We aimed for a fun, yet serious design that reflects a caring organisation with real results. Bright accents and warm photography create energy, while clean layouts keep focus on outcomes and transparency. Copy is plain and direct. Key actions like Sponsor a Child and Donate stay visible across the site.
The structure breaks content into short, scannable sections. Impact highlights sit beside human stories. The design is accessible, mobile-first, and works well even on slower connections.
Challenges & Solutions
Sponsoring individual children needed to be clear and trackable. We configured GiveWP to handle recurring sponsorships with dedicated forms, donor receipts, and a secure donor dashboard. Each child profile connects to the correct form so supporters know exactly who they help.
For general donations, we set up one-time and monthly options with suggested amounts and transparent fee messaging. GiveWP provides clear reporting for the team and a smooth checkout for donors.
The team wanted to update content on their own. We built custom post types for children’s profiles and programme reports, added custom fields, and created reusable Gutenberg patterns. Staff can publish new profiles, reports, and news without touching code.
