For many young people in El Salvador, there are hardly any Work, Study places or a Possibility of a regular income. Out of desperation close itself many either criminal Gangs on, hike from or work under exploitative conditions. With our partner organization CORDES we offer young people a way out of poverty and lack of prospects. We support their income-generating Projects with education, Support and financial start-up assistance.
Salvadoran society is characterized by machismo characterized. Although violence against women is everyday life and the country has one of the highest femizidrates worldwide, the topic is largely hushed up. With ourr partnerorganization “Empty para Soñar Sentir y Transformar“ we train young female scholarship holders of a socio-educational program to recognize gender-based violence (GBV). recognize, stereotypes identify and question stereotypes.
El Salvador is characterized by violence, crime and a lack of prospects. Murder rates now exceed those of the civil war (1979-1992), making the country one of the most violent in the world .
