COMMUNITY PROJECT CONCEPTS
These are provided as concepts to demonstrate the application of the “Mauri Model”, and as a creative outlet. If you have any ideas you would like to gift to the project please used the Contact Us form or our socials (links at the bottom of the page).
COMMUNITY PROJECT #423 - ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY WĀNANGA
Mission Statement:
To empower whānau with financial sovereignty by teaching Ekonomia (household stewardship) and investment strategies rooted in the Mauri Model.
The Needs Assessment:
The "Babylonian" financial system thrives on debt and the extraction of regional wealth. Currently, $3.8 billion in Northland KiwiSaver wealth is exported to offshore funds, starving local development. Whānau often lack the tools to bypass fiat inflation and anchor their value in the regional economy.
COMMUNITY PROJECT #420 - THE TOOL LIBRARY
Mission Statement:
To foster DIY sufficiency and reduce household costs by providing communal access to high-quality construction and gardening tools.
The Needs Assessment:
The "Babylonian" consumer model forces every household to buy expensive tools that sit idle 99% of the time, representing a "Leaky Bucket" for whānau finances. This barrier prevents low-income whānau from maintaining their homes and gardens, increasing local entropy and dependency on outside contractors.
COMMUNITY PROJECT #413 - THE "FIX-IT" CAFÉ
Mission Statement:
To restore the "Universal Constructor" capability by hosting monthly community repair events where skilled elders teach locals how to repair appliances, clothes, and furniture.
The Needs Assessment:
The "Babylonian" economy is predicated on a high-entropy "Throwaway Culture." When an appliance breaks, the system encourages us to dump it and buy a new one, creating a "Leaky Bucket" for both our finances and our resources. Simultaneously, the practical "DIY" skills of our elders are being lost as they become socially isolated, while the younger generation is losing the ability to transform their material reality.
