About our work in El Salvador
Plan has been part of the effort to rebuild El Salvador, which was still recovering from two devastating earthquakes in early 2001.  Although much of the damage has been repaired, many challenges remain.

Plan has been working in El Salvador since 1976. We consider that working together is the main key for every development process. This cooperation provides the parties involved, experiences and knowledge from each other.

Map of El Salvador

spacer

El Salvador, the smallest of the Central American republics, is the bridge between North and South America. The country's economy is based on agriculture. The main crops are corn, beans, sorghum, bananas and fruits.

A typical house in the rural area of El Salvador is known as a baharque. Houses either have mud walls with wooden rods inserted or are built using clay blocks placed one on top of the other.
