DigiServe Project Director

Profile ,

For Nearly 30 Years, We’ve Used Our Skills As IT Specialists To Further The Work Of The Gospel.
Our expanding team of international & local Thai software developers knows the nonprofit world inside & out. Together we’ve seen our partners expand their reach exponentially.

DigiServe believes that growing missional organizations need support utilizing IT strategically and effectively. Through creating digital products and equipping IT leaders, DigiServe enables missional organizations in Thailand to leverage IT to increase their capacity to accomplish their mission. By providing software and digital services to social agencies, we will help build capacity to provide a higher quality of care. Our desire is to focus on orphanages and children at risk, developing and then deploying the Child At Risk System for FCF and several other groups in Chiang Mai. We will work closely with other types of Foundations in order to provide custom software and IT services that will best benefit them. In addition, our Academy Plus program enables adults to learn new IT skills through on-the-job training and experience in order to be successful in both work and life…

Mission: Accelerate the spread of the Gospel by enabling missional organizations to leverage IT through digital products and equipping IT leaders.

Target : You can’t scale a ministry with a pen, paper and a fear of computers. Limited resources and a lack of expertise leaves many organizations unable to scale their complex, manual systems. We believe modern technology is a gift from God that can accelerate the reach of those serving the least fortunate throughout Northern Thailand. DigiServe helps Thai ministries use technology well.
