Caminos de Accion
Our Mission:
Empower.
Caminos de Accion works in solidarity with the Salvadoran community to provide education, health and infrastructure programs toward realized dreams, brighter futures, and stronger communities.
A Message from CdA Director, Manuel Dominguez:
“Caminos de Acción has given me the opportunity to realize one of my long-held dreams, and that is, to have a job that allows me to accompany people who in one way or another want to improve their lives through what we can offer. CdA is that space for continuous training where you know how to take advantage of opportunities, personally speaking, you grow not only in values but also professionally with the human relationships that are developed. Everything that pertains to CdA is an opportunity that has helped me become what I am now, a professional with a more human, critical thinking and awareness of social realities.”

Our Programs
At CdA we envision a day where everyone has access to quality education, zero hunger, and clean water & sanitation. That’s why we are committed to working in solidarity with rural communities in La Paz, El Salvador to address locally identified challenges. Together we will empower individuals and transform the community.
Knowledge is Power Program
We believe in the power of education to transform lives, communities, and futures. That is why we provide high school and university scholarships for students to pursue their dreams and become agents of change in their community. Our Knowledge is Power Program also encompasses a leadership program and mental health services for our scholarship students. We are excited to have 21 scholarship students for 2024!
Farming for the Future Program
Access to diverse, nutritious food, safe from pesticides is high on the priority list for the community. Organic agriculture workshops lead to individual family gardens, which empower families toward more sustainable and healthy futures. Whereas our Knowledge is Power Program is geared towards providing higher education, our Farming for the Future Program encompasses all interested families in Los Tehuistes and the surrounding communities. Our Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene or WASH Program is also part of our Farming for the Future Program.
