Comunidad Segundo Montes - partnered with St. Peter's Catholic Church in Charlotte, NC.  Voices first met this community during their nine-year stay in the Colomoncagua refugee camp on the Honduran border during the 1980's, where thousands had fled for their lives following the El Mozote massacre.  (more...)

Ciudad Romero - partnered with St. Paul, MN.  Ciudad Romero takes its name from Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was assassinated in March 1980.  Most of the original residents of Ciudad Romero fled the country when their native homes in the easternmost department of La Unión were destroyed by the military in 1980.  On March 24, 1990, the tenth anniversary of Archbishop Romero's assassination, they founded Ciudad Romero community.  (more...)

Salinas El Potrero -  partnered with Erie, PA.  Voices on the Border primarily works with the health care provider in Salinas, who is also a primary community leader.  (more...)

Las Catorce - our newest partner in the Lower Lempa region.  We are still searching for a US partner for this community!  Founded in 2003 by a group of families that had been unsettled and wandering for years, Las Catorce has progressed remarkably quickly, building sanitation facilities, a community center and other infrastructure.   

Nueva Esperanza - home to some 100 families, most of whom were refugees in Sandinista-era Nicaragua during the war.  Nueva Esperanza's relatively advanced infrastructure includes schools from pre-K to advanced education, a library and computer center, a church (extensively damaged by the 2001 earthquake), and a community building for meetings and activities. There is also a small community health clinic, community corn grinder, community run guesthouse, a small sewing co-op, and a bakery.
