arifSMS

arifSMS is an SMS (text messaging) based service that will reduce the cost of communication between Ethiopians in Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the Diaspora. After the development of a working prototype, I've currently been building the final version. The application is built using Ruby on Rails and a number of other open-source tools to ensure minimal cost to the end user. "arif" means "great" or "neat" in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia.
