Repair and Reinforcement of the Protective Wall at Santa Familia School in Santa Ana (El Salvador)

R eventSaturday, 18 April 2026

Project Context

The Catholic Santa Familia School is located in a low-income neighborhood of Santa Ana, El Salvador. The school provides holistic education and a positive learning environment for children and adolescents from families whose income comes mainly from informal trade, domestic services, and manual jobs.

Since its foundation, the school has been committed to offering quality education and safe, clean spaces to families with limited financial resources.

An Urgent Safety Concern

Part of the prefabricated wall protecting the multipurpose hall and sports court has been damaged due to soil erosion, as the school is located next to a ravine with a slope of nearly 45 degrees. This situation poses a serious safety risk for students and other users of these facilities.

Project Objectives

The project involves the replacement and construction of a new prefabricated wall section, extending 20 linear meters, to secure the area and prevent exposure to environmental damage or danger.

Social and Community Impact

The multipurpose hall and sports court are not only used by the school but are also available to the Church and other schools in the area. Ensuring their safety means protecting shared spaces for education, recreation, and community life.
