Camino Bursary — Digital Transformation of an NGO

The Challenge

What We Faced

Camino Bursary Foundation, a leading South African educational NGO, was struggling with manual processes that were hindering their mission to provide quality education to underprivileged students. Their challenges included: paper-based application processes taking weeks to process, donor management through spreadsheets leading to missed opportunities, compliance reporting requiring extensive manual work, and difficulty tracking student progress and impact metrics. The organization needed a comprehensive digital transformation to professionalize operations, enhance donor confidence, and ensure POPIA compliance while maintaining their personal touch with students and families.
