Hello, glad you found us!
Don't worry if you haven't heard of us, we're only small and don't like to talk much
FundLife exists to support the world's most marginalised children to find, and then believe in their dreams.
Using children's innate passion for play, we inculcate belief, creativity, grit and life-skills through experiential, non-formal learning.
Through a collaborative network of local partners and community role models, we work as one to help children, first believe in their potential, and then equip them with the tools to become unstoppable in their pursuit to fulfil it.

How do we do it?
First, we inculcate hope and restore childhood where it has ceased to exist.
Next, we dare children, their communities, and our partners to dream big.
Finally, we challenge and support them to work for that dream. You can call it our dream factory.

"To work in a field which grants access to a new world of opportunities thru the beautiful game of football is the most enjoyable "work" worldwide. I use the word "work" in a sarcastic sense, because the work I oversaw at Fundlife International it is not your typical 9-5 work, it is a passionate movement of humankind. Thanks to FundLife International, its donors and staff, children throughout Tacloban receive equal access to sport, safe space, integrative learning and adult mentorship, allowing them to carve a new life path, no matter how jagged the steps, to a fresh future." - Sarah Van Vooren (Program Operations Manager, 2015-2016) "I spent 11 weeks working with Fundlife and was thoroughly impressed with the organisation. The children at the sessions are taught football skills and also life lessons. It was a very humbling experience for me to see these children, who come from difficult backgrounds, to be able to forget about their troubles for a couple of hours and simply enjoy themselves. The coaches are great role models for the local communities and I'm sure they provide hope for many. On a personal note, I have taken so much away from my experiences. Living and working with locals was great and it helped me to really experience the culture. The highest praise I can give my time there is to say I would love to return and do it all again." - Tom Hatcher (Arsenal Coach, January-March 2017)
