Argentum Oblinit

At Fertilis Terrae, our goal is to help our fellow human beings thrive. One way we aim to do this is by lessening the human suffering caused by situations of conflict and natural and anthropic disasters.

Communities emerging from situations of conflict or recovering from disaster tend to go through prolonged periods of economic malaise.

The Argentum Oblinit program focuses on communities in the aftermath of conflict or declared disasters (whether natural or man-made) with targeted interventions that shorten the period of economic malaise usually attendant after catastrophe. We help to create an environment suitable for rapid and sustainable economic growth and development.

We have noted, with alarm, the increasing frequency and magnitude of scale of seismic and hydro-meteorological events that impact the Caribbean and Latin American regions. We have developed a toolkit of targeted interventions that are designed to assist in the re-establishment of sustainable income-generation and which limit the temporal impact of economic malaise and depression that usually follows these events.

Conventional post-catastrophy interventions tend to focus on the re-population of geographic areas. This approach often neglects the establishment of a sustainable base for economic empowerment and development...

Fertilis Terrae's focus, through Argentum Oblinit, is to ensure that communities devise and implement their own sustainable long-term economic and social development strategies that provide opportunities for growth and progress for all their members. Our approach is people-centered and focuses primarily on:

• Women & girls.

• Individuals who traditionally have been denied opportunities for and access to finance and education.

• Indigenous groups and other vulnerable minorities.

• Established, community-centered small businesses and cooperatives.
