FUNAMOS

We play with heart, we grow with values
The Community.
FUNAMOS, Fundación Unamos las Manos, is a community project in Ovejas, Sucre, using football as a bridge for social change. They transformed what used to be a rubbish dump into a football field that brings children and families together through sport, discipline, and community pride.
Community Dream

What's needed for growth
• Access to safe and permanent facilities
• Improved safeguarding and consent systems
• Funding and partnership structure
Our Story Together
We arrived late at night with nowhere to stay. Juanca welcomed us into his home. The next morning we joined football training with the children, followed by matches on the street. The energy was contagious. Families came out to watch and cheer. That evening we joined the local Gaita festival filled with music, dancing, and food. The experience reminded us how much hope lives in places like this.
The project.
FUMANOS Sports and Community Centre
The Vision
Build a sports and community centre (with a pitch, classrooms, and facilities to host visiting groups) that gives young people a safe space to play, learn, and grow.
FUNAMOS was created by Juanca and Mónica in Ovejas, Sucre. Juanca trains and mentors the kids. Mónica manages coordination and communication. Together they have built a space where sport is used to keep children away from violence and to teach teamwork, discipline, and respect.

THE POWER OF THE COLLECTIVE
Social media for social elevation.
Every like, share and view generates income for creators and funds real community projects. This is what the power of the collective looks like.
