The Gomaespuma Foundation was born from the initiative of journalists Juan Luis Cano and Guillermo Fesser, driven by the generosity of the audience of their iconic radio program Gomaespuma. Since its inception, the Foundation has worked to promote access to education and culture as tools for social transformation, especially among the most vulnerable groups. Throughout its history, it has developed and financed projects in Sri Lanka, Nicaragua, Senegal, Congo, and Spain, in collaboration with local organizations that have firsthand knowledge of the realities of their communities. These projects have stable and continuous funding, aimed at ensuring their sustainability over time and their real impact on the ground.
