The community of Montaña De Fe has graduated
In 2023, the community transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency. Because of the dedication and partnership of sponsors like you, local people and organizations have been equipped to continue leading the community’s development – and that is something to celebrate!
Program Details
The Montaña de Fe community is located in northwest El Salvador, in the municipality of Ciudad Barrios, one of the country's poorest and most remote areas. Homes here are usually made of sun-dried brick with thatched roofs, and access to basic services is limited. Residents practice subsistence farming on small plots of land, though the hilly and rocky terrain leaves them susceptible to landslides and soil erosion. Most households are headed by women, with many men having left in search of work.

Building sustainable futures together
World Vision child sponsorship starts with understanding what is preventing children from surviving and thriving in their community. We then work with the community to bring the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children.
