SA Harvest needed a digital platform to scale their mission of rescuing nutritious food from landfill and delivering it to vulnerable communities across South Africa, while making it easy for corporate partners and individual donors to engage.
A 4-week discovery phase working closely with SA Harvest operations, fundraising, and communications teams to understand beneficiary workflows, donor journeys, and impact reporting requirements.
Designed a React-based platform with a real-time impact dashboard as the centrepiece, supported by a secure donation portal, beneficiary management system, and content management engine.
React frontend with Python/PostgreSQL backend, Redis for real-time impact metrics caching, and AWS infrastructure designed for cost-effective scaling as the organisation grows.
Over 20 weeks, we delivered in three phases: core impact dashboard and donation infrastructure (weeks 1-8), beneficiary and partner management portal (weeks 9-14), and advocacy and storytelling content system (weeks 15-20).
SA Harvest has scaled their impact to 112M+ meals delivered, 28M+ kg of food rescued, and 243+ beneficiary organisations served, with the platform directly contributing to increased donor engagement and corporate sponsorship.
“DiVentra Labs built a platform that matches the scale of our mission. The real time impact dashboard has transformed how we communicate with donors and partners - it has directly contributed to a surge in corporate sponsorship.”
