iTimba
- Due to changing demography and socio economic structures we found that lot of our citizens are leading lonely lives especially the elderly. So in case of illness and emergency conditions many citizens need support of neighbour or other healthy citizens. There are many healthy people ready to support such people in need
- iTimba is an effort to address this need. We are trying to network the needy people with the willing person who is available to support such people in need.
- This website provides facility, to network the person ready to help (giving time we call them iTimba Users) with the person in need of help in terms of quality time (we call them iTimba Volunteers); both may register themselves on this website. The lonely persons (senior citizens) may get help in terms of time in following manner
- In emergency or condition of illness
- In case of loneliness for socialization
- The citizens who need time and the citizens ready to provide time may register on our website/app accordingly. Our iTimba Manager will connect them together.
- The website will keep record of service providers and try to return when they need it on priority basis
- The website also provides facility at local level to create iTimba branch. The persons residing in the area may apply to work as iTimba manager after verification by the centre they will be permitted to organize iTimba activities and use the website. In case of more than one person is interested to work in iTimba branch in some location then one of them will be designated as coordinator manager
- The services of the persons giving time or working as iTimba manager will be duly recognized and felicitated.
- Our this initiative is inspired by the initative of the Time Bank of Switzerland and similar initiative of Rajya Anand Sansthan an undertaking of the govenment of MP. the Team IOIC wants to put on record its sincere gratitude to the promoters and participatnts of these two initiatives
