Malaysia TimeBank's Mission, Core Values, and Core Principles
Malaysia TimeBank is dedicated to utilizing time as a currency to build local exchange networks that draw on the untapped assets within communities, while fostering caring, respect, and justice. All members of the timebank share the Basic Rule of timebanking, which is that one hour of service equals one-time credit, regardless of the type of service provided.
Furthermore, Malaysia TimeBank and its members share the Core Values of Timebanking, seeking to promote their implementation. These core values include:
- Assets: Recognizing that everyone has something to contribute, we all possess valuable skills, knowledge, and abilities that can benefit our community.
- Redefining Work: Beyond monetary compensation, some work is essential for building healthy families, strong neighborhoods, and a sustainable planet. Such work should be honored, recorded, and rewarded.
- Reciprocity: The act of helping is most effective when it's a two-way street. Instead of asking "How can I help you?" we should ask "How can we help each other build the world we both will live in?"
- Social Networks: We are interconnected, and our communities thrive on trust, support, and commitment. We need to build and strengthen these networks of mutual respect.
- Respect: Respect demands accountability. All voices must be heard and heeded to promote social justice and ensure accountability for all.
