After months of brainstorming, planning, tweaking and collaborating, the Time Dirham has arrived in the UAE (www.timedirham.ae).
Phase One of our roll-out has begun!
What is it?
...the first time bank in the Arab world! It is a special service in the community which allows its members to give and receive practical skills and services by converting their free time into 'time dirhams'.
The concept is simple and yet in life the simplest concepts can prove to be the most fruitful. We have created a currency, the time dirham, which is directly equivalent to hours of time. You spend 1 hour doing something for someone in the community and you earn a time dirham which you can use to have someone else do something for you. It is a vehicle for allowing the community to serve itself, across ethnic and socioeconomic divides which often create unnecessary borders between us and our fellows.
