"My building is a community A bank that is focused on encouraging people with endless creativity and potential to start their new businesses in Al Khalifa area"
PROBLEM?
Children
Children will begin to be introduced to the project by attending workshops that give them a basic understanding of the historic surrounding that would allow them to design the new currency creatively and add their footprint to the project in progress.
User Groups of Al Khalifa Bank
Women will have space to have their own projects and have a sense of ownership in the surrounding context. The fear of money will be eliminated because they will not need instant cash to start their own businesses.
Women Workers of the Bank
Formal Workers of the bank will get to have stable jobs in the building that monitor the condition of the new project in Al Khalifa area. They will work collaboratively with Al Khalifa members as well as exhibit the overall experience to NGOs to contribute in the project .
Local Members of Al Khalifa
Women could continue having a sense of ownership at an old age by working at home by creating handmade products or caring for children and storytelling activities that help them know more about history that will help them design currencies.
The Elderly
Older people will be able to take part in focus groups that help share their expertise in a field with younger generations and how to grow their business from people with previous knowledge in the field.
NGOs
NGOs will take part initially in the project by funding what it takes to issue the new currency. They will also take part in attending the exhibitions formed by the bank and supporting small businesses.
Men
Men will work with the barter system and exchange programs and be able to run their workshops and businesses without needing instant cash to keep their work in progress going. They will also get to save the cash in hand to be used with external suppliers instead.

In 2013 there is more focus on vegetation towards the western side of the map that was neglected in the beginning of the planning process of the housing project
