## What is Dwara?

Dwara is where neighbours give things away and ask for a hand.

GIVE SOMETHING AWAY
Post what you no longer need — furniture, clothes, a microwave, the kids' old
bike — with up to four photos. People who want it reach you through a private
request that you accept or decline, so nobody can just walk into your inbox.
When the item is gone, close the post and it leaves the board.

ASK FOR A HAND
Need jumper cables, a ladder, a second pair of hands to carry a fridge upstairs?
Post a short request. It stays up for a few hours, anyone nearby can reply in the
open thread, and it disappears on its own afterwards. Small favours, no fuss.

SEE WHAT'S AROUND YOU
Donations and help requests show up on a map when the person chooses to share
where they are. Search to jump straight to a particular item or request.

HEAR ABOUT THINGS NEARBY
Switch on nearby alerts and Dwara tells you when someone about a kilometre away
posts a donation or needs help. Both alerts are optional, separate, and can be
turned off any time in Profile → Notifications.

KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN
Every item you actually hand over counts toward a giving tier — Giver, Kind,
Generous, Champion, Legend. A quiet nudge to keep passing things on.

BUILT TO FEEL SAFE
• Interest in a donation always starts as a request the owner can decline.
• Report or block anyone, at any time.
• You decide, per post, whether its location appears on the map.
• Full Arabic and English, in light or dark.

Made in Bahrain, for Bahrain.

Share your location in chat
Send your current spot in any conversation — or share your live location for 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours so people can find you in real time. Stop sharing whenever you like.

Edit before you send
Trim and touch up photos and videos right inside Dwara before adding them to a story or a chat, with a cleaner, faster attachment menu.

Nearby, your way
The "Near You Now" list now remembers whether you sort by distance or by place — your choice sticks every time you open it.

Fixes & polish
Place cards now stay hidden until you're close enough to unlock them, plus stability and performance improvements.

Thanks for using Dwara! Got feedback? We'd love to hear it.
