Our beginning
From 60 neighbors to a network of hope
In 1995, a group of roughly 60 people who had emigrated from the El Piche canton organized in Los Angeles around a simple idea: sending money home to repair their community's roads.
Three decades later, that group is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit where every member is a volunteer, running health, education and infrastructure projects across El Salvador — with the same spirit as day one.
Flagship project
El Piche Educational Complex
18 classrooms on two floors, a laboratory and a library for 500 students from 16 communities, from kindergarten through high school. A $1.86 million investment raised through donations, in the heart of El Carmen, La Unión.
