At Faya Foundation, we are more than a foundation – we are a movement with a mission. We are driven by passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to sustainability.
Our team brings together experts in conservation, sustainable development, and community engagement, all working towards a shared vision: a world where people and nature thrive together.
Over the past 12 years, Mark Shuttleworth has been funding a series of initiatives and projects on Príncipe Island.
His vision for Príncipe: to be recognised globally as THE benchmark for biodiversity conservation and the maintenance of ecosystem services, while simultaneously ensuring the economic and social development of its population.
We believe that real change happens at the intersection of environmental responsibility and economic opportunity. By developing innovative solutions, promoting resource efficiency, and fostering social equity, we create scalable, lasting impact.
Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. From local communities to global partners, we work together to build a sustainable future – one that rewards those who protect our planet.
