EStart — Creating better lives and stronger opportunities for people in El Salvador

EStart is a non-profit organization created to help Salvadorian families live better lives. 100% of donations to the EStart Foundation go towards one of three endeavours: (1) providing basic essentials, (2) micro-financing for small businesses, or (3) community support projects. Our vision is to breakdown the social, educational and economic barriers in El Salvador so that all children, women and men can strive to achieve security and prosperity.

Because We Must

We Provide Everyday Necessities to Families Living Below the Poverty Line

A little goes a long way in the lives of people who have little, and we view it as our responsibility to help those in need.

Because We Can

We Provide grants and Financing to low-income individuals or groups who lack collateral and credit history.

We believe in the power of self-reliance. We help families become independent by funding food stands, street vendors, and small stores.
