Fundação Kassumay
Three pillars, one path
Sustainability, solidarity and development guide every project Fundação Kassumay builds together with local communities.
Sustainability
We protect Guinea-Bissau's natural resources — forests, mangroves, water and biodiversity — through practices that ensure their responsible use for future generations.
Solidarity
We believe development is only fair when it is shared. We work alongside communities, respecting their knowledge and their priorities.
Development
We invest in education, health, infrastructure and local economies so that every community has the tools to build its own future.
What We Do
What we do
Our work is organised around four major areas of intervention, always built with and for local communities.
Education
Access to schooling, teacher training and support for educational infrastructure.
Health
Improving access to basic healthcare and community-based prevention.
Environment
Ecosystem conservation, clean water and sustainable agriculture.
Community Ecotourism
Tourism circuits that generate local income and celebrate Bijagó and mainland culture.

Every Fundação Kassumay project begins with dialogue with local people — because lasting change only happens when it is led by those who live it every day.
