Malaita Province’s Youth Coordinator, Frank Samo Sari has thanked the YouSave and TrigaCash teams for their outreach programme to Malaita Province, especially for visiting the Malaita Youth Council.
He expressed gratitude to the teams after they held a successful awareness event at the assembly house on Friday, March 27, which he hopes will help and support youth save money for the future and better prepare for climate-related risks.
He said the knowledge shared about the schemes of saving money has allowed the youths to gain insights that will support them to prepare for future disasters and emergencies.
“On behalf of Malaita youth, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the TrigaCash initiative implemented under the CBSI regulatory sandbox in partnership with Trans Pacific Assurance Limited, M-Selen, YouSave (SINPF), and supported by the United Nations Capital Development Fund through the Pacific Insurance and Climate Adaptation Programme.
“Your programmes have provided valuable knowledge, practical skills, and emphasised the importance of saving for our youth, particularly during emergencies and times of disaster,” he said.
He said sharing the initiative with the youth and people of Malaita is not only a demonstration of commitment, but also shows empowerment.
“Your commitment is truly making a positive impact on the young people today by empowering our young generation to secure a brighter and more resilient future,” he said.
YouSave is a voluntary savings scheme designed for people in the informal sector, providing a flexible way to save for emergencies and future needs.
TrigaCash is a climate-risk parametric insurance product that provides automatic payouts based on verified weather data, without the need for traditional claims processes.
It helps protect farmers, fishers and micro small and medium businesses from climate risk events such as heavy rainfall, drought and strong winds.
