Who We are
Ethegra Technologies is Our tech company for Our communities. We are a Black owned company and we focus on using the modern tools of data science/technology combined with transformational praxis to deconstruct and address problems in Black , Latinx and Indigenous communities in the US and internationally. Specifically we focus on food access and land usage in the Diaspora.
At Ethegra, we understand that access to data holds tremendous power to transform lives and communities. For development and decision making to be effective, our communities need access to the right information, the right analytical skills to process it and tools to use it in ways that are beneficial to us.
We work with communities and individuals to cultivate in them awareness for value of data; and engage them in learning, collection, interpretation and usage of data processes to ensure that sustainable development is realized.
What we do best?
Maps!
Maps and graph technology
Space and land use are the foundations of agriculture. This is especially true for displaced peoples for whom land ownership has never been guaranteed. Our research focuses on gathering data and building technology to understand where we are and how we will get to where we are going.
Logistics and Efficiency
Black, Brown and indigenous farming is revolutionary. Revolutions are not given resources by the institutions, so we make our own. Once we have our map data we can understand where everything is and use it to get resources to and from farmers and food businesses easily.
Community Planning
Our data and technology allows our communities to act as our own city planners. We can gather research on our community, on who needs what and where they are. Then we can use algorithms that we have a say in to plan where resources should go.
The Ethegra Model
Transformative Praxis meets Community based Technology
Research
Praxis begins with reflection. We work closely with your local food organizations to gather and understand data that impacts Black food systems.
Educate
Information should be accessible. We work with Farmers and Food organizations to build understanding and knowledge around your data.
Empower
True praxis is action. We equip you with the tools to apply your knowledge on your organization and Community while you continue to improve.
