El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America, with over 333 people for every square km. Over half the population lives in poverty without access to adequate health or education services. Because of increasing floods, drought, deforestation and soil erosion, many of their people don’t have enough to eat.

Our Work in El Salvador

We have supported the vital work of grassroots organizations in El Salvador since the mid 1970’s, working with them during the internal armed conflict and in the post Peace Accords period. Presently, the main thrust of our partners’ work is in socio-economic development in the department of Usulután and the promotion of women’s and labour rights at a national level.
