Solesolevaki communal work

Solesolevaki is the iTaukei custom of unpaid communal work for shared goals such as building and farming; UNDP documented it uniting Kadavu villagers and kin abroad to rebuild after a cyclone.

How a note would work

Posts record contributions to shared projects, such as rebuilding after a storm, and are spent on group help for any household in need, serving the common good rather than paying individuals. Never bought or cashed out.

Design concept inspired by this tradition, not issued by or for the people who keep it. Not legal tender, not for sale, no cash value, no redemption and no investment rights.
