Welcome
Voices on the Border (Voices) is a non-profit, grassroots network of individuals and organizations promoting just and equitable development in the departments of Usulután and Morazán in El Salvador.
Voices began its work in 1987 as a project of accompaniment with over 10,000 Salvadoran refugees in Colomoncagua, Honduras and other refugee camps. In 1989 and 1990, Voices accompanied these refugees as they repatriated to El Salvador. Upon their return, many refugees founded Comunidad Segundo Montes, in the northern department of Morazán, while others moved to the Lower Lempa region of Usulután.
We have continued accompanying our Salvadoran partners for over 20 years, responding to their 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. At any given time, we are engaged in a number of activities, including:
Grantmaking
Organizational Capacity Building
Hosting and Leading Delegations to El Salvador
Developing projects and initiatives
Advocating for social, economic and political justice
Other activities that further the development interests of our partners
Voices' strength is in its small staff, active board, and network of individuals, organizations, and communities that partner in our activities and support our programs. As we have for over twenty years, we continue to draw our energy and inspiration from our local partners in El Salvador, who face challenges and struggles with grace, humility, and determination.
