PARISH RECORD KEEPER

Comprehensive Parish Administration Software  ·  designed for use in AFRICA

Donate

Parish Record Keeper was developed to support parish administration and record-keeping in the service of our common faith. All downloads include a free licence granting indefinite use of the current version. We do, however, kindly ask you to make a generous donation of your choice to Lumimba Parish in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia — the parish that created and continues to maintain this application.

Developing and maintaining software involves real costs. Lumimba Parish covers a vast and remote area stretching over 150 km along the Luangwa River, where many villages become completely cut off during the rainy season due to poor road conditions. Your donation will directly support its outreach ministry, helping it reach even the most isolated families and communities. The parish is also launching a range of educational and health initiatives, including the construction of schools and a hospital.

We would be happy to share more about how your contribution can make a meaningful impact. Feel free to write to us at administrator@parishrecordkeeper.com.

Workspace Access (Optional, Yearly Contribution) Separately from the donation above, we also offer an optional Workspace: the whole online side of Parish Record Keeper, hired as one package for one datafile and for a term the parish chooses. It holds the shared master datafile that several people at the same parish work on in turn (with server-based version control of the master and of each member's copy to assist the merging), an account for each member, the online search, the offline phone app, the parish transport register and shared logins for people with no account of their own. Unlike the program itself, which is free, the Workspace asks a contribution covering the direct costs of securing and maintaining it — one contribution for the whole package, with nothing inside it charged for separately:
TermZambiaFrom abroadPer year
One yearZMW 400USD 20
Three yearsZMW 1,000USD 50USD 16.67
Five yearsZMW 1,250USD 65USD 13.00
The kwacha and dollar prices are set separately, not converted from one another: the kwacha price is the real price for a Zambian parish, the dollar price the real price for someone contributing from abroad. See Server Actions inside Parish Record Keeper, or how to get access, for details.

Giving more? Anything beyond the Workspace contribution is treated the same as any other donation to Lumimba Parish. You don't need to send two separate payments: just send one combined amount and state how it should be split when you confirm it, as described below.
✉ Please confirm your donation Whichever method you use, please send a brief message — including the amount — to administrator@parishrecordkeeper.com. If your payment also covers Workspace access, just tell us how to split it (for example, "USD 20 for Workspace, USD 20 as a donation") and we will apply each part accordingly. This helps us track contributions and send you a word of thanks.
