A community members portal website for KSIJ Lubumbashi, synced automatically with the jamaat’s Google Sheet.
The challenge
KSIJ Lubumbashi is the Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat in Lubumbashi, DR Congo. It needed one place for its community — and a better way to manage members.
Members only existed in a spreadsheet: members couldn’t see or check their own details or membership status.
No single source of information: prayer times, events, lectures and services were spread across WhatsApp and social media.
Manual admin: adding or updating a member meant extra work every time.
Our strategy
We built a community website and a members portal that runs itself.
Community website: daily prayer times and the Islamic date, upcoming events, recent lectures from YouTube, services (marriage, funeral, counselling), the managing committee and online donations.
Members portal: every member gets a private login and dashboard with their own details, grouped into clear sections.
Public member profiles: each member has a shareable profile page with their photo and member ID.
Automatic Google Sheets sync: the committee keeps managing members in Google Sheets, and the website creates, updates and deactivates accounts on its own.
Welcome emails: new members automatically receive their login details.
The results
KSIJ Lubumbashi launched its members portal to the community with the website as its central hub.
Every member can log in and check their own details and membership online.
No double data entry: changes made in the Google Sheet appear on the website automatically.
One home for the jamaat: prayer times, events, lectures, services and donations in one place, on any device.

The work
Membership website development
A community members portal website should make life easier for volunteers, not harder. Automatic syncing, member logins and simple pages for events and donations let a small committee run a large community online.
