We support our partner organisations in El Salvador to help them strengthen the resilience of the population and protect human rights. Our focus is on inclusive disaster preparedness measures, particularly for vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities and older people. We advocate for victims of human rights violations and support them in claiming their rights.
Disaster Risk Reduction for All
People with disabilities often have less access to education and social participation. Discrimination and exclusion make their daily lives even more difficult. During natural disasters in Central America, this can be life-threatening. In Guatemala and El Salvador, AWO International is committed to inclusive disaster preparedness and comprehensive support for people with disabilities in their daily lives.

Silence is not an option
The human rights situation in El Salvador is becoming increasingly serious as a result of the government's crackdown on gang crime in the country. Human rights violations are commonplace. Our partner organisation Cristosal is committed to supporting women and their families who have become victims of human rights violations and displacement.
