Support Yakhnama

Yakhnama is free to use, carries no advertising and does not sell data. It is run by volunteers, and its running costs are paid by people who want the record to exist.

What the money pays for

  • The server that runs the website, the database, the sign-in service and the map.
  • Storage for photos and for backups of the record.
  • Map data: keeping the base map and place names on our own server, so that reading the map sends nothing to other companies.
  • Translation: review of the Urdu text by native speakers.

To ask how the money is spent, write to hello@yakhnama.com.

Ways to give

Both links open another website. Payments are handled there, under its own terms and privacy policy; Yakhnama never sees your card details.

Other ways to help

  • Report hazards you see, with photos if you can: report a hazard.
  • Help improve the Urdu text: write to hello@yakhnama.com.
  • Tell people the record exists, and cite it when you use it.
