A medical doctor from Save the Children is assisting the hospital serving the impact area. Save the Children is an established presence in El Salvador. Since 1979, Save the Children has been implementing many long-term development programs in El Salvador, primarily focused on health and education. During this crisis, Save the Children will deploy its experienced staff to focus on the special needs of children and women impacted by this earthquake. Please help us to extend our reach beyond our established Impact Areas.
Earthquakes go beyond boundaries, and relief needs to follow.
