Last night (23.6.20) I was woken up in the middle of the night and shown how to practically fulfil my mission to help end poverty in Maharlika/Philippines.
It involves close cooperation with The Frega Collective. An online portal designed to be an all-in-one system for businesses ~ small and medium, personal, clubs, educators and mums and dads to use to share information, eCommerce, social and banking tools.
Frega has been developed over the years to help end poverty worldwide. Empowering those who are unbanked, underbanked and the banked.
The Frega Collective’s underlying goal is to empower every person on the planet to make a sustainable income.
I realised, 10 years ago, that Frega is a healthy robust solution to help end poverty. Especially, helpful in an undeveloped country such as the Philippines.
And the same system can be used anywhere else in the world.
We are poised to expand globally this year.
The first part is in Tagalog, followed by English.
One of the challenges for poor people in the Philippines is that it is necessary to at least have a smart phone for access. Unfortunately, most poor people can’t afford smartphones, or the data for internet access.
My solution for Maharlika, specifically starts off from the premise that through Frega, myself and many others, are keen to help those who are not so fortunate.
Many of the members of Frega are philanthropical and as the collective grows will benefit from the income coming through to their personal accounts.
Through the generosity of the Frega members to date, almost half a million Frega shares have been donated to my “Real Hand Up Foundation Maharlika” – RHU - (purposefully set up to provide relief to the Philippines) by various generous Frega members.
When these shares are worth $ 5-10 each, I want to use this wealth, and a large part of my own, for this mission.
Because I believe in the ethos and vision of the Frega Collective and the expertise of the Foundation’s CEO Paddy Delaney, for the last 8 years I have invested everything I’ve got into Frega.
It is also very likely that other successful Frega members will be motivated to assist financially in this initiative. And, of course, there will be many Pinoys coming on board who will share our mission to lift the standard of living for all their fellow Filipinos.
-
I need to find a Filipino Lawyer - I’m still looking for one who will help pro bono… to set up the legal structure and to properly register RHU Foundation in Maharlika.
-
The Foundation Trustees will have to consist of mostly Filipino members in order to be able to own property in that country.
-
The idea is for the Foundation to own property all over the country. One day hopefully in every town.
-
These properties will be owned by the Foundation and administered by a few local trustees. All of them of course Frega members.
-
Their job will be to find suitable poor people, maybe a family, to live there for free in return for certain services. There will later be a possibility for these tenants to buy the property off RHU. To be paid automatically by deducting a certain % from their Frega income. That money in turn will be re-circulated to buy more properties.
Keep in mind that by western standards, buying property in Maharlika is very cheap.
Following are the conditions for Tenants:
-
One of the tenants needs to be somewhat proficient with the use of digital media and qualified to be a Frega Mentor.
We will provide assistance to that person to learn how by providing a free Frega Mentor.
-
Each property to be bought needs to have a small, separate office space.
RHU will provide a Laptop/Computer and/or Smartphone and internet connection. And initially pay for data.
This will then become the local Frega Station. Where people who are too poor to own a smartphone can book in regular sessions to log into Frega and start creating an income.
-
The Mentor/resident of that Station will be there to assist them and will pick up any contacts not already registered or referred by another member. Thereby create more Frega income for themselves. And, of course, they will also make a good income by mentoring.
Plus, they will have great financial incentive to teach their mentees how to also become mentors and help others and then those to do likewise.
The Frega Stations can also be expanded to become community centres.
Community Centres can then take on another function and run as a Co-operative with a local governing committee. I envision this will include various classes to empower people to become more aware in different areas: Healthy Living, Food Co-ops, Growing Organic Food, Yoga and Meditation for personal development, even political awareness and empowerment.
So, people can take control of their own lives and work together as a community, helping each other.
This same concept can be expanded to bigger land communities / Co-ops? Eco Villages.
With enough land to Co-operatively live together and assist each other. Eventually incorporating Medical Facilities and their own progressive and independent Schools. Plus other facilities, such as various businesses etc.
The Plight of Single Mothers
Another area that is of particular interest and concern to me is the plight of single mothers in the Filipins. There are literally millions of them, who end up in that situation for various reasons.
Their lives and that of their children is extremely hard. As there is no government safety net in the way of financial assistance. Hence huge numbers of these mothers have to leave their children who are already deprived of their fathers, and work in foreign countries. Just to earn enough money to feed their children and provide for their education (no free education in Maharlika ...)
A Catholic country with no emphasis on contraception and abortions and divorce illegal.
These women are often mercilessly exploited and even abused. Often kept like slaves.
I personally know of many horror stories of physical and sexual abuse suffered by these Pinays. They sacrifice everything for the sake of their children.
I dream of the day when, with help of Frega and RHU Foundation, these women don’t have to sell their souls (and often their bodies) in order to provide for their children.
I believe once this idea starts to work, and we have a few working models - proof of concept - it can then expand all over the country like ripples on a pond.
I have friends in various parts of the country who I trust to be honest and who I believe will be interested in starting some pilot projects.
