Michele Faissola: FounderPast Role: Deutsche Bank, Head of Asset & Wealth Management
Founded by Michele Faissola, The Faissola Foundation aims to provide tools, support, and better educational opportunities to underprivileged children and young people across Europe. While we are all born equal, some do not have access to equal opportunities, and therefore the foundation seeks to right this inequality by giving children and young
people the chance of a bright future; both professionally and personally. Created in honor of his mother and in memory of his father, the Faissola Foundation's initial project is the creation of an education centre in Taggia, Italy - where the family originates. Michele Faissola's parents both worked tirelessly in the field of children’s education; his mother as a primary school teacher for over 40 years, his father as headmaster of two secondary schools. Future projects are slated to expand to the UK and other locations across Europe. The foundation actively works with communities, schools, municipalities, and local churches, to collaborate on learning initiatives within their region. These facilities will be more than just an after-school hangout. With the Faissola Foundation's objective of helping underprivileged children firmly in mind, the centres will create a welcoming space for students to be furnished with study materials, educational guidance, and a warm, supportive learning environment. The idea is not just to teach, but to provide young people with the necessary study skills, learning habits, and motivation to proactively invest in their own futures.
