Bridging distances and generations. A digital home for the Bashamakh family to connect, support, and preserve our shared heritage.
The Bashamakh family is a distinguished Hadhrami Yemeni lineage with deep roots in the rich cultural history of Hadhramaut. Like many Hadhrami families known for their adventurous spirit and trade acumen, our ancestors embarked on journeys that took them far from their homeland.
Over generations, the family has established vibrant communities across the globe. A particularly significant and thriving community was established in Kenya, becoming a central hub for the family in East Africa.
We also maintain deep-rooted connections with our established kin in Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and beyond. Despite this geographic dispersal, the bond of kinship remains the cornerstone of our shared identity.
The primary mission of the Bashamakh App is to serve as a digital bridge connecting family members regardless of where they reside. In a world where families are increasingly global, maintaining close ties can be challenging.
This platform ensures that every member remains a part of the greater whole. By digitizing our family tree and providing tools for communication and support, we empower the current generation to discover their roots and ensure future generations stay connected to their heritage.
Platform features designed to unite the family.
The Interactive Family Tree is the heart of our connection. It visually maps out the intricate web of relationships that bind us together. Whether you are in Mombasa or Al-Qatn, Yemen (the origin home of our family), you can trace your lineage back to our common ancestors.
A connected family looks after its own. The Grants & Assistance module allows the community to support those in need or investing in education. By providing a centralized platform for aid, we ensure that support reaches family members wherever they are.
To sustain our community projects and maintain our ties, we rely on collective contribution. The Payments & Fundraising tools allow for transparent management of Zakat, monthly subscriptions, and project-specific donations.
