In a nutshell


Rebuilding LivesIntegrated and sustainable infrastructure driven by local community



Rebuilding Lives - Background

Apr 2010 We have “capability”

• Sanitation / Water purification

• Shelter

• Communications (inc. mobile)

• Logistics / Supply chain

How to use “commercially” for humanitarian purpose?

• Not GD leading…

• Worked together on proposition. Built a team.

• GD Board had second thoughts (Nov 2010)

• Ethos allowed to run the project. Adopt the name.

• GD may participate rather than lead.


Integrated & Sustainable: the community view


Does the UK's aid programme win business contracts?

Self interest with UK Aid?

Lots of other examples:

• Schools and hospitals with no teachers or nurses

• New buildings that never have electricity

• Economic dependency “who will pay my rent next year?”

• NGO’s fighting for the primary position “up the flag pole”

And so on …

Wouldn’t it be great if we could deconstruct exiting capabilities and re-assemble them with in the interests of displaced communities in mind?

• Capabilities: Institutions / Companies / NGO’s to work with

Finance

• A budget of £100k per pilot would enable us to scope sensibly to fit. Who could sponsor us? Any and all ideas welcome. Fundraising on Just Giving, for example?
