The Purpose of the Build Project

Hear from Harry, Co-founder of Think Pacific, as he explains about the origins and the purpose of the build project:

---

#1 – The Build Itself

Your project facilitates and funds the construction of requested infrastructure for a rural community from the Fijian Government. These projects act as outreach opportunities for communities which have demand for nursing stations and health centres through requests from the Ministry of Health to expand the provision of medical care and increase the capacity of the local nurses and health teams. Once constructed, the building acts as a place of work for the community health worker and a vendor for health supplies delivered by the Ministry of Health for the community and surrounding region.

#2 – The Training

The firm aim is that the building itself is a product of a training. Each Think Pacific build project has a Build Manager employed to oversee the construction, to guide you as a team through the construction itself and also to train local youths who are participating.

Prior to you entering a village, x5 youth members of the community are selected to be up-skilled in carpentry under the guidance of the build manager, they not only gain skills and knowledge in a valuable space for themselves and the community but they also receive qualifications, furthering employment opportunities and expanding their experience.

#3 – Funding

Any Think Pacific project acts as a fundraising initiative, and aside from the immediate funds that are going into the project itself, further funds are allocated to further community development, future training initiatives within rural communities and continued investment into youth groups through monitoring and evaluation efforts.
