History
Origin Story:
Far Away Projects was born from the generated possibility of Desiree Tavera, Founder and Executive Director, who was inspired while reading in her hotel room in Paris on November 14th of 2015. An otherwise unmemorable cab ride took her dangerously close to the Bataclan Theatre, one of the targets of the tragic Paris attacks. The books she found solace in the next day educated her on regenerative agriculture and solutions to the plastic waste crisis. Those books restored her hope in humanity. As she worked through the trauma, she discovered a deeper purpose, to create abundance and resilience for others. Upon returning home to San Francisco she founded Far Away Projects, a 501(c)3 fiscal sponsor established to support public benefit initiatives that are aligned with the UN’s SDGs.
Ethos
Building an equitable and regenerative future
Our work focuses on the direction and blueprint outlined by the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goals” The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030. (reference *un.org)
