In a heartwarming end-of-year gathering, the members of the Bashaaki clan came together to celebrate resilience, unity, and the gift of life. Despite facing various challenges, the clan’s members have showcased remarkable strength and solidarity, particularly those homes led by widows, which have outperformed some homes with both husband and wife present.

The clan administrator highlighted that while there is food security, with sufficient food supplies and some domestic animals, including poultry, most families face the challenge of limited land for production. Poor sanitation was also noted as a significant issue, and members were encouraged to improve their sanitation practices and learn from such gatherings.

During the event, the clan administrator, Alfred Bakutana urged clan members to love and prioritize their clan, rather than waiting to lament when issues arise. He emphasized the importance of unity and standing by one another. Furthermore, he recommended involving government authorities in future home visits to address persistent issues, particularly sanitation and food security.

Chairman Kabareebe Eliot expressed his gratitude to the clan members for their strong turnout. He emphasized the purpose of the gathering: to celebrate the end of the year and honor the gift of life. The clan also remembered and honored those who did not make it through 2024, praying for their souls to rest in peace.

Kabareebe emphasized the importance of respecting one’s clan to boost its existence and foster unity among members. He noted the difficulty of awakening those who pretend to be asleep compared to those genuinely asleep, highlighting the challenge of engaging uninterested clan members. Additionally, he warned that youths causing trouble for their parents would soon be handed over to government authorities for further action.

Kabareebe also emphasized the issue of food security and advised other members to learn from members who were identified as model farmers in order to boost their household income.

The Bashaaki clan, originating from Kashaaki, a son of Kagahe and a branch of Bagahe, traces its roots back to Lake Bunyonyi (Ahangyezi) in Kigezi. They later settled in Nyakishenyi before finally establishing themselves in Kyamakanda, formerly known as Rujumbura. The clan’s totem is a cow (Ente Ngoobe), and the eagle is regarded as their animal friend.

As the year draws to a close, the Bashaaki clan’s commitment to unity, resilience, and progress serves as an inspiring example for the community.
