FOUNDATION MISSION
THE BIG LOVE
" The Big Love Foundation's mission is to improve the overall wellbeing in the region, invest in talent and creation of job opportunities, empower local voices, celebrate traditions, and reposition Africa's narrative through impactful experiences and wellness retreats. "
Dr. Cody Edene
The Foundation champions three primary pillars of work.
Each pillar of our foundation is intricately designed to foster positive change, uplift the nearby communities, and contribute to the overall well-being of the region where we operate.
At the core of our foundation lies a dedication to advancing health and wellness in the region. We actively support and fund initiatives that delve into cutting-edge research, exploring innovative approaches to physical and mental well-being taking into consideration the specifics of the region.
Health & Wellness Research
We firmly believe in the transformative power of talent and community development. The Big Love Foundation is committed to identifying, nurturing, and empowering talent from local communities, irrespective of their backgrounds.
Talent & Community Development
By challenging outdated stereotypes and misconceptions, the Foundation will pave the way for an authentic and holistic appreciation of Africa's cultural richness, ultimately inspiring a global audience to view the continent through a lens of respect, admiration, and shared humanity while they embark on a healing and wellness journey.
