Sending Medicine to El Salvador

World Vision is committed to partnering with the people of El Salvador to enhance their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their communities, families and children. One of the developmental programs that World Vision operates is the Community-Based Rehabilitation Project that partners with Medical Teams International to adequately provide care to children and adolescents with physical and/or speech impairments. Located in Sendero de Esperanza in western El Salvador, this project will help to promote the needs of disabled and impaired children, lessen the stigma attached to these conditions through public education, and train village members to construct ambulatory devices using locally available resources. Forty family care providers and 40 disabled or impaired children will directly benefit from this project.
