MODEL PROGRAM FOR SUSTAINABLE INCOME GENERATION BASED HUMANITARIAN ACTION
Five
Year Projection
This is a USD380 million Proposal linking income generation
and humanitarian action. It establishes the Total Care Foundation Fiji
Incorporated (the Foundation) with UN-INMA as a community-based entity setting
up and controlling five enterprises to be created by the Foundation. Operating
these enterprises with the support of fifty (50) very experienced advisors will
ensure a sustainable dividend income stream to the Foundation to fund rollout
of humanitarian action; USD111.8 million for Humanitarian Action in the first
five years, and over USD125 million in the next five years. Additionally, over
USD97 million in wages will be created for Islander people in the first 5
years.
It is proposed that this humanitarian action in Fiji will
strengthen hospitals and health services infrastructure and maintain the supply
of needed health consumables, as well as increase education and employment
opportunities and the overall well-being of the Islander communities. The
Program also proposes forming an Emergency Psychosocial Support Network to
psychosocially support communities affected by disasters and provide small
rapid response teams capable of quickly assessing psychosocial need as well as
interfacing with incoming aid agencies. Additionally, the Program entails
redeveloping of a program for 300 at-risk Fiji youth at Montfort Boystown, and
secondly, establishing a Smallholder Farming Cooperative with an associated
micro-credit scheme, thirdly, creating a therapeutic community horse-based farm
for transforming to wellbeing addicted Adolescents in Suva Fiji., and creating
a Residential Wellbeing Centre of high degree set in a magnificent Island
setting close to tropical forest and coral fringed beaches.
The Fertile Futures Program’s new
Enterprises will generate 850 fulltime and 60
part time jobs for local men and women within five years, as well as 100 other
jobs during the first 18 months infrastructure set up, with a flow-on effect of
5:1 in fulltime jobs generating 4,250 jobs for local people.
