Lutheran World Relief is investing in Central America.
We are working to stabilize communities and create opportunities for entrepreneurship and meaningful employment, especially for young people, in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Lutheran World Relief and our local partners are providing training to help create cadres of community agricultural extension agents, helping people to learn entrepreneurial skills to start businesses and enabling farmers to use technology to increase crop production and income.
Our goal is to help families remain intact, live securely and thrive. Below, check out just a few examples of how your support transforms lives.
Help us continue this important work.
Join us to continue creating opportunities for our brothers and sisters in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras by making a gift that supports programs in Central America or giving a gift to be used where needs are greatest.
