We are involved in many projects which assist the Salvadoran people. Since 2006, the Board of Project Salvador has decided to focus our work in the following areas:
1-The Karen Adams Microlending Project aims to support the economic and organizational development of women by establishing Microlending Committees for women in rural communities in north central El Salvador. Project Salvador has c
ontinued to raise additional funds for this project which has expanded to 31 communities in 2012, with a 98.5% payback rate on credit loans ranging from $50-200. Over 840 women and their families have benefited directly from this project.
2-The Center for Arts for Peace in Suchitoto provides a community space for reconciliation and building a cultural identity for the former war zone. Sister of Charity Peggy OβNeill, who has lived in the area since the mid 1980s, is the driving force behind this effort which includes sponsoring community events, classes, and delegation visits throughout the year.
3-Community Organizing Projects through PICO El Salvador by empowering local leaders to address local, regional and national issues in El Salvador including public safety & violence prevention, community health, infrastructure, and local economic development. Development of local leadership is key to these efforts of holding elected official accountable to address community needs.
