Our ties with our communities date back to the 1980s, when VOICES began providing political and material support to refugees living in a camp in Colomoncagua, Honduras.
Today, the majority of our work is carried out in the mountains of northern Morazán and in the Bajo Lempa and San Juan del Gozo regions of Usulután. We also engage in extensive social advocacy work in San Salvador, the nation's capital.
We believe in collaborative development at every step and put significant trust in our partners in order to continue to build local capacity and provide the necessary information and tools required to protect local interests and achieve common goals. VOICES also has a small grant program that funds community-based initiatives that would otherwise go unfunded.
VOICES is a small organization, but our strength lies in our history, experienced staff, knowledge of El Salvador, close relationships with our Salvadoran partners, and willingness to look beyond traditional development paradigms.
