Eleos Access: Diaspora Concierge Hub

Abstract

Eleos Access is a multilingual, web-based platform developed for Eleos Groups, designed to support members of the Ethiopian diaspora in the U.S. and Europe by enabling them to plan and pre-pay for essential services before arriving in Ethiopia. The application provides booking modules for travel planning, property management, and business support - each of which are reviewed and processed by Eleos Groups. A travel estimator powered by the Mistral AI model allows users to calculate projected travel costs, while integrated PayPal payment processing ensures secure online transactions for service requests. Users can register for personal accounts to submit their service requests and track payments, while administrators can oversee request payments and manage property listings. The system is built with a React.js frontend using Vite, Shadcn, and Tailwind CSS, and a backend powered by FastAPI and Uvicorn. Database management, user authentication, and email notifications are done through Supabase.
