Large infrastructure and energy projects and the substantial revenues they generate do not always deliver the fullest benefits at the local level.  This failure is sometimes called the "Paradox of Plenty".  Phenix has committed to sharing the prosperity.  The integration of nationals into the work force, inclusion of the communities into the process, and operating in harmony with the environment are among the Company’s highest priorities. Phenix has already initiated contacts with the indigenous communities along the proposed route to inform them about the project and to assure that their concerns, social and environmental, are satisfied from the outset of the project.

 An integral part of the overall Phenix plan is to give back to the people of Nicaragua through a well planned and managed Humanitarian effort.  Phenix will allocate a percentage of its profits generated in Nicaragua to direct humanitarian efforts in the country.   This effort will be managed through a non profit company Phenix will establish called THE PHENIX FOUNDATION.  Funds will be administered according to the same rigorous accounting methods applicable to the Company.  None of the funds will go to government officials, but rather will go directly to projects administered by private contractors demonstrating adherence to the highest ethical standards.

 Examples of projects intended to positively impact the quality of life of the People of Nicaragua may include local medical clinics, schools, fresh water wells, multi-purpose community centers, electric generating and distribution facilities, job training, transportation and communication infrastructure, and free or low cost  connectivity programs.  The goal will be to provide opportunities for the People of Nicaragua to improve their quality of life and to help them help themselves.

The Pipeline/Telecommunication Project will ‘trickle down’ to approximately 1,200 people who are indirectly impacted by Phenix using as much local services as possible..  They will include employment in business such as:
