Primary Exempt PurposeVoices on the Border's ("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 equity, 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 Morazn. As other refugees returned from camps in Nicaragua and Panama, our local partners asked that we help them resettle in the Lower Lempa of Usulutn.For the past 30 years, Voices have continued accompanying its Salvadoran partnePrimaryExemptPurposeTxt
