General explanation attachmentOrganizations Primary Exempt Purpose (Part III)Voices on the Borders (Voices) mission is to promote just and sustainable development in El Salvador. We envision Salvadoran partner communities in which local, national, and international stakeholders work together in a transparent and participatory manner to: - Further local economic and social development goals; - Increase access to government services; - Ensure quality, justice and autonomy; and - Contribute to the global struggle for social justice and equality for all people.Voices began in 1987 by providing material and political support for the 10,000 refugees in Colomoncagua, Honduras during the Salvadoran civil war. When the refugees began repatriating in November 1989, we accompanied them home where they settled in Ciudad Segundo Montes in Northern Morazan. As other refugees returned from camps in Nicaragua and Panama, our local partners asked that we help them resettle in the Lower Lempa of Usulutan.For the past 30 years, Voices has continued accompanying its Salvadoran partners in responding to the needs and priorities, facilitating partnerships with U.S. communities and other international organizations, advocating for justice and equality, and informing U.S. citizens of the realities in El Salvador. Statement of Program Service Accomplishment (Part III, line 28)Community Development: Provided multiple small grants to fill gaps in educational needs (e.g. safe transport to school, teachers salary, supplemental food for childcare centers); assist with local projects; and to support youth, women and disabled veterans groups as well as community cultural activities.Statement of Program Service Accomplishment (Part III, line 29)Civil Society Training Center: Enhanced the organizational capacity of over 75 community leaders in the Bajo Lempa and northern Morazan regions of El Salvador through monthly workshop programs, strategic planning sessions, and focused consultations. Statement of Program Service Accomplishment (Part III, line 30)Research Institute: Developed and disseminated materials and provided in-depth information and analysis on topics relevant to the development goals of local communities and groups in El Salvador, via written reports, fact sheets, public informational sessions, and media exposure.
