Salesforce Database Customization
Georges Malaika Foundation
Salesforce Database Customization
Project details
What we need
- A Salesforce database including: a customized set of Salesforce objects, single-record editing of data and field history tracking (up to 15 object types), a customized set of views to allow table-based editing of data (up to 15 views), a customized set of reports to pull data from multiple object types (up to 15 reports)
- Migration of Organization's current database to Salesforce
- Training for designated staff member on new objects, reports and views
- “Hand-off” documentation on the object schemas and any custom code
Additional details
We are currently using Salesforce and recently added a program to help with our monitoring and evaluation. This allows us to track student and participant attendance and performance. We need help connecting students and their performance to people who donate toward their education. The idea is to be able to send personalized emails to donors with updates on students with specifics such as grades included automatically. Donors and students are entered as contacts in our database.
What we have in place
- We already have Salesforce set up and use it regularly. I have some experience on the admin side but not enough to do this efficiently.
How this will help
This project will save us $22,852 , allowing us to help even more people in Kalebuka with our life-changing programs.
This will save us time and money while also allowing us to raise more money. This is a part of our donor stewardship program.

Our mission
Malaika's mission is to empower Congolese girls and their communities through education and health programs.
What we do
Founded in 2007, Malaika has grown into an all-encompassing ecosystem, impacting thousands of lives each year through its four core programs, all of which are offered for free to the entire community:
School - The Malaika School provides an accredited, holistic primary and secondary education to 400 girls. Taught in French and English, its STEM-focused curriculum includes coding, music, theater, sport and art, ensuring that students are equipped with a 21st century education.
Community Center - Malaika's community center, partially built in partnership with FIFA, offers extensive programming, including literacy, vocational education, sports/football and health classes to more than 5,000 youth and adults, providing life-changing opportunities for the community at large.
Technical classes - In collaboration with Caterpillar Foundation, Malaika's technical program trains young adults as mechanics and electricians, certifying them at a nationally-recognized level.
Water - Malaika has built or refurbished 25 wells, providing clean, safe drinking water at central locations to more than 35,000 individuals each year.
Nutrition - Malaika's agricultural program, grows organic food on campus, providing students and staff with two healthy meals each day, creating employment opportunities and serving as a platform to educate the community about sustainable farming practices.
These programs, all of which are community driven and locally led, symbiotically work together as a replicable model, which can be customized to other communities and organizations throughout Africa and the world.
