Fewus Menfesawi

01 — The Challenge

Fewus Menfesawi needed a platform serving both local Ethiopian learners and the global diaspora for religious education and community content. The core challenge was building a unified experience across different payment systems — Stripe for international users and local Ethiopian gateways for domestic — without fragmenting the user experience.

02 — The Solution

Delivered a full Laravel-powered platform featuring course management with video lessons, a community Q&A system, sermon and article publishing, user account management, and a payment system that elegantly routes users to the appropriate gateway based on their location. The platform handles the entire learning and community lifecycle in one place.
