"How UNICEF Built A Donation Platform Across 135 Currencies and 7 Languages"
summary
UNICEF deploys a Drupal 8 fundraising platform that accepts donations in 135 currencies and serves content in 7 languages, using the Group module to create per-country clones of global campaigns and Varnish plus GeoIP headers for edge language and locale negotiation to maximize cache hits. Payments run through Stripe with Google Pay/Apple Pay support, Stripe webhooks push hashed PII to country CRMs, and the system stores no reversible personal data while handling corporate partner pages and emergency global campaigns.
