In Partnership with Qmunity Kenz

Introducing Qmunity Kenz, Qatar’s first community Time Bank!

Established by the community for the Qmunity and launching this week – our Time bank enables people to ‘deposit’ their time by giving practical help and supporting to others, and they are able to ‘withdraw’ their time when they need something done themselves, or they can contribute their time credits towards a community cause.

Timebanking works for everyone – individuals, organisations and society as a whole. People arrange to give time when it suits them, offering skills they enjoy using.
