Our purpose

Turn real needs in the parish into technology that is simple, transparent, and maintainable.

We exist to support the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church with practical, well-structured tools. Instead of “demo projects,” we build systems that the Church can actually use: learning apps, translation tools, construction tracking, and bookkeeping.

Every project begins with a clear question: “What would make it easier for the Church to teach, organize, or manage?” From there we design, build, test, and refine with input from clergy, teachers, and committee members.

Convert parish challenges into clear tech projects
Give youth & volunteers real project experience
Support transparent construction & finance workflows
Improve tools continuously based on feedback
