GVN Community Fund - El Salvador Projects
Security Project for Community of former guerrillas Blinded in El Salvador�s Civil War
El Salvador�s 1992 Peace Accords, that brought to the end the country�s 12-year civil war, provided financial support for housing and re-insertion projects for war wounded. With this assistance, blinded former guerrillas in the Frente Farabundo Mart� para la Liberaci�n Nacional (FMLN) created �The Heroes Community�, consisting of twenty-two homes and located just outside of the country�s capital, San Salvador. Their livelihood is now being threatened because these families� homes are being robbed. Consequently the community is organizing to install security provisions, including a protective wall and razor wire.
These blind ex-combatants have struggled to remain in the community close to the capital city, despite many challenges, because this is their best opportunity to participate in the country�s economic, social and political life. The situation for the war wounded in El Salvador�s countryside is more difficult because of limited accessibility and resources. To implement this security plan and remain in their homes in �The Heroes Community�, they need your support. Below is the cost for this project.
