Manos de Heroes is a women-led, dignity-centered, identity-based prosthetics organisation in Uruguay dedicated to restoring confidence, inclusion, autonomy, and pride for children and adults with limb differences. We exist because a prosthetic hand is never just a device. It is: identity self-expression emotional safety belonging courage dignity At Manos, every prosthetic is personalised, story-driven, and designed with the beneficiary - not simply for them. Our model is built around one truth: "A child is never a 'case.' A child is a universe." Our work is deeply rooted in the belief that inclusion is a human right. When a child receives a personalised prosthetic that reflects who they are - their favourite colours, superheroes, animals, sports, patterns - something transformative happens: shame becomes confidence hiding becomes pride fear becomes expression isolation becomes belonging This is why our work matters. Children and adults with limb differences in Uruguay face a combination of structural, social, economic, and psychological barriers that severely limit their full participation in society. The problem is not the limb difference. The problem is: lack of access, lack of inclusion, lack of affordable prosthetics, lack of visibility, lack of dignity-centered solutions We address a multi-layered, systemic, and deeply personal problem. A. Social Stigma & Identity Erosion Children frequently report hiding their hands in school sleeves, pockets, or behind their backs. Some describe being teased, stared at, or excluded. One mother shared that her daughter spent years refusing to raise her hand in class - not because she didn't know the answer, but because she didn't want other children to look at her arm. A child once said softly: "I don't want to be different. I just want to be me." The psychological weight of this stigma shapes identity, confidence, academic participation, and emotional wellbeing. B. Lack of Access to Personalised Prosthetics Traditional prosthetics are: medically oriented, extremely expensive, rarely tailored to children, heavy or uncomfortable inaccessible for low-income families, designed for functionality, not identity. No existing system offers identity-based, child-led, custom-designed, and free prosthetics. C. Economic & Structural Barriers Families face: high costs (often thousands of dollars) repeated replacements as children grow limited awareness of prosthetic options emotional overload and financial pressure In many cases, parents must choose between medical needs and basic living costs. D. Loneliness, Isolation & Lack of Inclusion in Schools Without supportive structures: children avoid sports peer integration becomes difficult teachers lack guidance participation drops children become "the different one" This creates long-term consequences for identity-building and emotional health. E. Lack of Lifelong Accompaniment Children grow - their prosthetics must grow too. Most systems stop at "delivery." Families are left alone. Manos is the only organisation in Uruguay offering prosthetics that grow with the child, with ongoing adjustments, physiotherapy, and emotional support.

At Fundacion Entrepreneur, we work every day to "be the social actor that leads Learning by Playing in Latin America". "We seek to develop the competencies in our children and young people, that will become the best version of themselves and develop in the 21st century" Eight years ago there were three troublesome problems that were in our heads: What would happen if all people learned to undertake and be an entrepreneur?, What would happen if we were all financially literate, balancing our well-being and money?, What if we had fewer social myths and a mayor sense of citizenship and belonging? Common problems, which are in everyone's life, but which are not all carrying burden. Thus, in 2012, the chilean company Momento Cero (Mo.0), who has spent 15 years making learning and innovating always entertaining, through the creation of various tools to carry out the Learning by Playing methodology, saw the need to generate social impact initiatives, thus giving rise to our Entrepreneur Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization. We felt in love with the challenges linked to this specific problems, because we believe they are the individual mobilizing motors of freedom and necessary to create, finance and implement dreams and projects that are a contribution to the common good. How do we put this into practice? We develop, implement and evaluate school programs that promote the use of educational board games in the classroom, focusing on students between 12 and 18 years old. We address relevant topics for current challenges: entrepreneurial talent, financial literacy, social sense and citizenship. Along with this, we co-developed the book "Playful mindset: to create, educate, undertake and innovate", where we share our know-how. Why Learn by Playing? Because if there are emotions, there is learning. And if that learning has an educational intention to provide tools to our young people, even better! We know that the Learning by Playing methodology generates emotions, fosters self-confidence, develops divergent thinking and reduces stress, which increases learning, thus developing in children and young people the skills that will allow them to become the best version of themselves in this century. We know that our challenge is not easy and we have a long way to go, but we are committed to enhancing the talent of each person, contributing to the formation of integral human beings, according to the challenges of the 21st century.
