Meet the team behind Hiiba
Hiiba is built by a small team that cares about simple, fair and safe reuse. We are focused on helping people in the UAE give and adopt pre-loved items with ease.
A team united by reuse and community
We started Hiiba to make it easier for people in the UAE to pass on items they no longer need and help others at the same time. Our team brings experience in leadership, strategy, entrepreneurship, mobile apps and blockchain. Together, we are building a free, community-driven exchange that rewards reuse and reduces waste.
Community-first mindset
We design Hiiba around real needs in the UAE. Our goal is to make it easy for neighbors to help each other by sharing items they no longer use.
Simple, safe handovers
The app supports clear listings, in-app messaging and coordination tools. This helps givers and adopters arrange handovers in a simple and organized way.
Rewards for circular behavior
Eco Reward tokens (ERW) encourage ongoing giving. You earn ERW when you give away items and can use them to adopt items from others, keeping value in the community.
