Initiatives & response.
We are focused on the areas of greatest need, on the ways in which we can do the most good. From poverty to health, to education, our areas of focus offer the opportunity to dramatically improve the quality of life for billions of people. We think it is critical to engage with the social and ecological challenges facing humanity, and believe that engagement with social issues must be deep, meaningful, and formed on the bedrock of long-term commitment — this is the only way real change can happen on the ground. We continue with our philanthropic public welfare efforts to make a significant difference in addressing some of mankind’s greatest challenges and invest in a range of exciting areas, from the future of mobility, renewable energy, energy storage, water projects and health-tech. Fijishi is implementing programmes across the humanitarian, development and peace nexus providing comprehensive, holistic and inclusive responses throughout all phases of crises. Our efforts to address the mobility dimensions of crisis is framed by the Crisis Operational Framework (COF) which is a practical, operational and institution-wide tool to improve and systematize the way in which the organization supports to better prepare for and respond to crises.
Spirit of Fijishi
Our foundational values are embodied in the ‘Spirit of Fijishi’ that emphasizes unyielding integrity in every aspect of our work, treating people everywhere fairly and with respect – at the workplace and in communities outside, and demonstrating ecological sensitivity in thought and action. We focus on issues we think are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives. For each issue we work on, we work on innovative ideas that could help remove barriers. Some of the projects we work on will fail. We not only accept that, we expect it—because we think an essential role of social initiatives is to make bets on promising solutions that governments and businesses can’t afford to make. As we learn which bets pay off, we adjust our strategies and share the results so everyone can benefit.
