Who we are

Who we are.

We are a family with strong ties to both El Salvador and Germany. It is a family with over 30 years of experience working within the international development sector and harbours a strong desire to support those in need.

The aim of this charity is to provide targetted support from international sources to El Salvador. The foundation first identifies existing NGOs and charities in El Salvador requiring assistance within the social, cultural and health sectors. Internationally, we approach different institutions, organizations and individuals with a vested interest in helping those in need, acting as a bridge between the two countries.

Origins.

In 1993, personally, The family of Fritz and Angela Dohle made a donation to Salvadoran women development foundation (FUDEM) off graded, second hand lenses and optometric equipment.

Later in the same year, The Dohle´s family donated another 6,000 graded eyeglasses and 2,500 new graded eyeglasses, Ophthalmology´s equipment, refraction boxes, and others.

Today.

In March 2015, Los Fundadores El Salvador became a legally registered charity.

We are now working on projects to protect the environment and management of climate change risk; like supporting renewable energy sources, recicle of garbage and water management.

At the same time we implement Cultural Heritage projects and we continue to work on visual health projects.

Chairwoman´s message.

Dear Friends:

I want to give you a warm welcome on behalf of Los Fundadores El Salvador.

With this website we aim to establish a closer relationship with our donors and benefactors by providing updates and reports on our charitable activities.

We are a German-Salvadoran family motivated by the desire to support those who are most in need in El Salvador. This is achieved by creating bridges between our allies and benefactors in the international supporters to existing social and humanitarian projects in El Salvador, to alleviate the needs of those with poor access to basic human necessities.

Many thanks for your interest,
