Helping people in El Salvador | ASB Foreign Aid

El Salvador is severely affected by the migration of its population. Most of the migrant population is headed north to try to reach the US. This problem is the result of high levels of violence, limited employment opportunities, the impact of the climate crisis and food insecurity, not to mention weak local government structures. The ASB helps to create prospects to allow people to stay, and supports them in dealing with the effects of climate change.
