Why El Salvador?
Youth in El Salvador face a range of significant challenges, including:
Ministry Locations
El Espino
El Espino is a juvenile correctional center for boys located outside the city of Ahuachapán, near the border of Guatemala. Counteract, in partnership with the Rotary Club, has installed a computer lab and a library at the center.
Sendero de Libertad
“Sendero de Libertad” (Path of Freedom) is a juvenile correctional center for boys in Ilobasco. Counteract, in partnership with the Rotary Club, has equipped the center with a bakery workshop and a computer training lab.
CISF
The Female Social Integration Center (CISF) is a correctional center for girls in Ilopango. Through a project with the U.S. Department of State, computer skills and English workshops are offered to the girls in the center.
Tonacatepeque
The juvenile correctional center for boys at Tonacatepeque is about 18 miles from the capital of San Salvador. With support from a German NGO, Counteract built a structure within the center that serves as a chapel and a Success Academy classroom.
CISNA
