If you are looking for a peaceful escape from the pace of modern life, São Tomé offers a truly unique experience. Often referred to as the Chocolate Islands, São Tomé and Príncipe remain one of Africa’s most unspoilt destinations, where nature still plays the leading role and life moves at a gentle “leve leve” rhythm.
Away from crowded tourist destinations, visitors can enjoy the simple pleasures of island life: quiet beaches, lush tropical forests, friendly communities, and a slower pace that encourages rest, reflection, and genuine connection with nature.
With warm waters, rich biodiversity, year-round tropical temperatures, and a remarkable sense of tranquillity, São Tomé provides the ideal setting to relax, recharge, and discover one of the world’s most authentic island destinations.
The CACAE Association is committed to empowering the youth of São Tomé and Príncipe by providing opportunities for education, personal growth, and professional development. We aim to address the challenges young people face, including limited access to education and employment, by offering innovative programs and support that help them reach their full potential.
DIMIX Mission Association is a non-profit association that was founded in 2016 following a challenge by Sónia Pessoa (Ursotigre) to her friends, united around a cause to create a project of sharing and, together, extend a helping hand to children and young people — the little princesses and little princes of São Tomé and Príncipe.
Since 2017, it has held the status of a Non-Governmental Organization for Development (NGDO).
The mission of Missão Dimix is to promote and defend Human Rights, especially those of children and young people, and to support development in the areas of Education, Environment, Health, and Equality.
