Across the Gulf—from the UAE to Saudi Arabia and beyond—Malayali expat communities play a critical role in supporting families back home. Many have formed welfare groups to offer death benefits, medical aid, and emergency support to their members and their families in Kerala.

But managing these community welfare funds across borders has always been a challenge.

The Cross-Border Problem

Traditional systems like WhatsApp groups, Excel sheets, or pen-and-paper registers don’t work well when:

  • Members are spread across multiple countries
  • Committees are handling both local and Kerala-based operations
  • Currency conversions and fund transfers need accurate tracking
  • Claims must be processed while managing time zone differences

Without proper systems in place, problems arise:

  • Missed payments or contributions
  • Delayed death benefit disbursements
  • Difficulty tracking who paid and who didn’t
  • Frustration among members and families

In today’s digital world, community management should be as mobile and global as your members are.

Enter Nidhimax: A Game-Changer for Gulf-Based Malayali Groups

Nidhimax is a welfare fund management software designed to address the exact challenges faced by expatriate welfare committees. It’s already being used by Gulf-based units of Samajams, Jamaaths, and regional associations.

Real Story: UAE Malappuram Welfare Association
