SwapAnHour is a free App platform which encourages members to use their time as currency; swapping their skills and goods with others to foster the spirit of community. No money exchanges hands.
Sydney, Feb 11, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - SwapAnHour creates a cashless community.
With a growing number of members joining its online community in only a few months, SwapAnHour is the latest app driving a social impact in Australia.
Launched in mid-2019 by IT professional, Jean-Philippe B., the free app platform hosts an online community of people who wish to use their existing skills and resources to support others. This is achieved by swapping their time for skills or goods - without any money changing hands. SwapAnHour is a safe and secure app platform that is sustainable, facilitates a sense of community, fosters goodwill, and supports well-being.
It encourages members to use their time as currency to foster the spirit of the community. No money exchanges hands.
"You 'bank' hours when you help a swapper," explains Jean-Philippe B.. "In return, you can use that time with another swapper." "For example, you might be good at gardening. You can give time to help me with my garden. In return, you might ask someone else within the SwapAnHour community to fix your computer using the hours you've 'banked'. You swap the skills or goods you have for the skills or goods you need."
Jean-Philippe B. says SwapAnHour's currency is time and doesn't discriminate by the market value of skills or goods. "Our connected world is driven by money, but what if it became more time-focused?" asks Jean-Philippe B..
"We all have skills and we all have time. SwapAnHour connects real people within their local community under terms of fair trade. Helping someone with your time, energy, and skills doesn't just make the world better. It also makes you better."
Apart from building a community filled with good will, Jean-Philippe B. says the app also promotes positive mental health, self-worth, and value.
"Like the old Chinese proverb says; If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody," adds Jean-Philippe B.
The free SwapAnHour app is available on both Apple and Android devices.
