Qmunity Kenz is a grassroots initiative in Qatar that connects people, ideas and resources to build a more connected, fair and sustainable community.
At the heart of what we do is a people-powered timebank. Timebanking is a simple and rewarding way to meet new people and strengthen communities, simply by sharing our skills, time and resources.
In March 2022, 30 early adopters and co-creators came together to shape Qmunity Kenz. They shared ideas on how timebanking could meaningfully support everyday life for individuals, families and communities living and working in Qatar.
This platform showcases the future of Qmunity Kenz. Although currently on hold while we seek funding, it reflects our shared values and vision for inclusive and sustainable impact.
Our values
Our community is our greatest asset
Every hour has equal value, no matter the skill
Collaboration and connection come first
Reciprocity: give time, receive time
People where it counts, technology where it matters
Our goals
- Build a multilingual platform, including a fully adapted Arabic site, and create a unique rewards program accessible to our community.
- Promote timebanking across sectors like healthcare, education, volunteering and CSR in Qatar and the wider Arab world.
- Host an annual Impact Festival & Gatherthon to celebrate collective action.
- Enable transferable time credits with global timebank partners across MENA and beyond.
If you’re interested in using timebanking in your organisation, setting up your own timebank or sharing ideas - we’d love to talk.
