Aidit Ngo

What Aidit Ngo does

AidIT (legally Aid & IT Solutions) is a Cape Town-based private company founded in 2017 by Hyman van Zyl that provides integrated information management systems and IT services specifically for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs), primarily in South Africa. The core product is an NGO App Suite built on AppSheet's no-code platform and integrated with Google G Suite and Google for Nonprofits, comprising Plan (project planning), Manage (project/beneficiary management), Share (fundraising/social media/reporting), Financial Accounting, Meeting Management, and Project Evaluation apps. Surrounding services include Google Cloud Setup, dynamic website design via Google Sites, social media automation, development aid consultation (donor databases, best-practice knowledge), and NPO startup services including legal registration.

The company monetizes through a tiered pricing model: a one-time setup package of R7,275, per-user monthly subscriptions ranging from R0 to R125, and custom app development priced between R2,500 and R17,500 based on complexity. Ancillary revenue comes from NPO registration services and donations, the latter reflecting the company's explicit nonprofit-oriented positioning; its About page states that "AidIT is not about making money but to serve the evolvement of human life." Distribution runs through partnerships with Google for Nonprofits, TechSoup, and AppSheet, with the founder's 15+ years of South African development-sector experience forming the domain backbone of the offering.

Operationally, AidIT is a micro-entity with 1-10 employees (approximately 7 named) and serves small-to-medium NGOs that need affordable digital infrastructure. The technology approach deliberately relies on no-code/AppSheet and Google ecosystem tooling to keep delivery cost low and to remain accessible to nonprofit budgets, rather than building custom software from scratch.

Broad incumbents

• Bonterra (Network for Good / GivingFuel / Salsa): Suite of nonprofit software products for fundraising, donor management, and CRM. Comparable end-to-end SaaS orientation serving NGOs, though U.S.-focused and aimed at mid-market organizations.
