Note:NABUUR.com will not provide you or your community with financial support, nor include questions directly aiming at fundraising.

NABUUR is the old Dutch word for Neighbour. NABUUR.com is the free Global Neighbour Network. Neighbours are here to assist each other by sharing their knowledge, contacts, creativity and time using the internet.

If you have a plan for improvement for the people in your community, you might benefit from the assistance of Neighbours. Read further to find out if NABUUR is something for you and prepare yourself for registering.
