The Fanapi Foundation is built upon these core values & beliefs:
1. We believe that the Fanapi islanders can rise up to accomplish extraordinary things for themselves and their descendants when given the opportunity, freedom, and resource. Fanapi Foundation will help in building the capacity of the local leaders to become catalyst for local solutions.
2. We believe in the ability of an island community to transform itself by engaging in the best that technology and research can bring without compromising its rich traditions, culture, and values. Fanapi Foundation aspires to bridge the modern world with the responsibility of perpetuating the roots and traditions of the people from the outer islands.
3. We believe in the power of grassroots to affect change in our government through understanding, awareness, and active participation. Fanapi Foundation organizes grassroots advocacy training for the people to self-advocate to elected officials and their government.
4. We believe that education, community development, health care, and social enterprises are the hallmark of empowerment for the marginalized people in the outer islands. Fanapi Foundation aspires to provide the resources and training by which these services are provided.
5. We believe that Fanapi Foundation must focus on enabling people who have found success abroad to help their families who continue to live in the outer islands.
