Mission
to El
Salvador
Mission to
El Salvador,
Inc. is a
non-profit
organization
founded in
2009 for the
purpose of
connecting
individuals,
businesses,
churches,
and other
organizations
in the
United
States with
those most
in need in
the country
of El
Salvador. We
do this by
raising
funds and
accepting
donations,
as well as
utilizing
volunteers
both in the
United
States and
in the
country of
El Salvador.
Because of
God's great
love for us,
we desire to
share His
love with
the poor,
needy, and
orphaned in
the country
of El
Salvador in
practical
ways by
meeting
their
physical,
emotional,
and
spiritual
needs. We
desire to
alleviate
poverty in
the lives of
those we
serve in a
way that
both
benefits and
respects
them as
individuals.
We work
primarily
with
children at
risk, the
homeless,
and the very
poor in the
capital city
of San
Salvador. We
also assist
with rural
children's
centers, and
a rural
health
clinic.
