A New Dawn for
Mining Children
in Bolivia
FUNAM (Mining–Tourism New Dawn Foundation) is a social initiative dedicated to supporting children and families from mining communities in Potosí and Uyuni. We believe every child deserves access to education, critical thinking, and real opportunities to build their future.

Transform lives through
Education, Dignity & Opportunity
Our mission is simple: provide children from Bolivia's mining communities with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to build a better future — for themselves and for their country.
Changing Lives Through Education
We work directly with children and families in Potosí and Uyuni's mining communities, providing access to education, learning resources, and critical thinking programs that open doors to a better future.
Empowering Independent Thinkers
We work with a long-term vision of empowering children to become independent thinkers, capable of creating positive change. A generation not defined by origin, but by the opportunities they create for others.

You are not just
visiting Uyuni.
You are touching a story.
Behind the salt flats, the mountains, and the breathtaking landscapes of Bolivia, there are real children growing up in mining communities. Many come from families who work hard every day, but still face limited access to education and opportunity.
We believe tourism can become a bridge between visitors and local transformation. When a traveler truly learns about a place, that place begins to change.
💙 If you enjoyed Uyuni… you can help a child who lives here. Because tourism is not only about seeing the world — it is also about improving it.
