Thank you for praying for affected participants and their families.

On July 2, 2022, heavy rains caused flooding in El Salvador. This created landslides, flooding at coast lines, and the need for families to temporarily relocate for safety. In addition, houses have been damaged and schools have been suspended. To date, it has been reported that 40 participants and their families have been affected. The local Child Development Centers (CDCs) are providing basic relief items to impacted families. The Compassion El Salvador National Office will continue to assess the situation and report updates as they become available.

Please pray for affected participants and their families as they begin the recovery process.
