The Freedom From Poverty Foundation Inc. is a Canadian non-profit, charitable foundation established in Montreal, Quebec , Canada since 1993. The Foundation brings together humanitarians who wish to make a significant difference in the daily lives of many of the less fortunate in one of the most disadvantaged regions of India- eastern Uttar Pradesh-by providing access to education and health care.

Goals and Challenges

Prior to the re-launch, the Freedom From Poverty Fondation website used no content management system, it was difficult to maintain, offered little documentation and support and would have been expensive to continuously develop due to lack of pre-developed modules and an organized framework. One of the critical goals for the new site was to research and find a content management framework that best suited our client’s needs and offered documentation and support. After three months of research and planning, it was obvious Drupal was the best platform for the project. Throughout the re-design of the new Freedom From Poverty Foundation website, we used agile development cycles and took advantage of many contributed Drupal modules. Many modules were either slightly or heavily modified and custom modules were created where needed. As we continue to develop with Drupal, we are more impressed with its performance, robustness and organization. This is a enterprise class application that has proven to be very lightweight.
