Alimenta la Solidaridad

The Mission

Alimenta la Solidaridad runs community kitchens in Venezuela, feeding underprivileged children. They needed a website that would:

• Show the impact of donations
• Make giving easy and secure
• Connect donors with specific kitchens
• Handle recurring donations

Interactive Kitchen Map

I built a map showing all community kitchens:

• Pin locations across Venezuela
• Click for kitchen details
• See how many children each kitchen feeds
• Filter by region or need

This helped donors feel connected to specific communities.

Donation Calculator

A tool that shows exactly what donations provide:

• Enter an amount
• See equivalent meals
• Understand monthly impact
• Compare different giving levels

Making the impact tangible increased donation rates.

Secure Payment System

Integrated Stripe for reliable payments:

One-Time Donations

• Quick checkout flow
• Multiple payment methods
• Instant confirmation
• Receipt emails

Recurring Donations

• Monthly giving setup
• Easy modification or cancellation
• Payment reminders
• Annual summary for taxes

Security

• PCI compliance
• Encrypted transactions
• Fraud prevention
• Secure data handling

Impact Visualization

The site shows real results:

• Total children fed
• Meals served this month
• Kitchen growth over time
• Stories from the community

Technical Implementation

Built on Laravel for reliability:

• Robust backend for payment processing
• Admin dashboard for the organization
• Automated reporting
• Scalable architecture

The Result

The platform helped increase donations significantly, enabling Alimenta la Solidaridad to expand their reach and feed more children in need.
