Skills Economy

Find people with the skills you need.

Skills Economy is a free network where survivors of trafficking and targeting trade skills and help each other rebuild. 311 people are listed in its directory.

  1. Pick what you need. The count of people who could help shows right away. No account, no name.
  2. Save it, if you like. A code brings you back to see who has been added since.
  3. Meet them. Sign up free and post what you need on Today, where members answer.

Questions before anything else? Reach Farah directly. No account needed.

What do you need?

Tap all that apply, and tap again to remove one. The count below changes with each tap.

Something else? Add a skill

    Private. Matching asks for no name, email or account and shows counts only. Names are seen only inside the app, by members a person has checked.

    Meet them on Today

    Today is where members post what they need and what they can offer, and answer each other. Post your need as an ask, broken into small parts somebody could do from a phone, and pick up a part of somebody else's when you have the time.

    Reading Today needs no account. Signing up is free and you can post the same day. A person checks each new member before they can see the directory by name.

    Why people are here

    311 people already cover 36% of the skills a small country like Finland, Estonia or Singapore runs on. That's a projection, not a count. If we trade with each other instead of with the people targeting us, we have most of what we need between us.

    Every skill, one node each

    Brighter means more people can help. Tap one to check it. The globe has no countries on it, because nobody here is pinned to a place.

    Farah's Quora posts, all time, before the accounts were removed

    Those Quora answers brought people into Skills Economy until the accounts were removed. The people did not go away, so they are listed here now.
