CAFOD is the official overseas development and relief agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

CAFOD has been fighting poverty in developing countries since 1962.

CAFOD believes that all human beings have a right to dignity and respect, and that the world's resources are a gift to be shared equally by all men and women, whatever their race, nationality or religion.

VisionWT have been CAFOD's web development partner for a few years and in addition to the development of the main CAFOD website at http://www.cafod.org.uk amongst others, it was time to produce a site more focussed for children.

VisionWT were approached to develop the online solution for the CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) World Gifts campaign to maximise donations around the Christmas 2004 period. We have been developing the World Gifts website for each Christmas period ever since.

The website is part of a complete campaign involving postal and telephone donations in addition to online donations.

The website provides an opportunity for CAFOD to demonstrate how the various gifts sold on the website such as giving a goat in East Africa, will provide longer term benefits and make a difference in regions across the world.

In addition to buying gifts and making donations, users can see exactly what their gift recipient will receive in the form of certificates and cards.

The site was developed with eZ publish 3.6 by http://www.visionwt.com.
