Local work is hard to find

The right person may never hear about it

A tutor, tailor, cook, driver, or repair person may live nearby. Without one place to look, a neighbour who needs help may never find them.

A request can disappear in minutes

Ask in a busy group chat and the message soon moves out of sight.

نورnur · Arabic for light

Where the name comes from

Nurra comes from nur, the Arabic word for light.

We chose the name because Nurra helps people see the skills, requests, and useful things already around them.
