Poverty has played a major role in the lack of growth in the country of El Salvador and as a result of poverty it has not allowed growth in the country
Since 1980 C.O.A.R has been a major contributor to combat poverty of knowledge and poverty as a result of lack of education in El Salvador with a goal to bring about a cure to poverty through education by implementing a system that promotes hope, legacy, and community using education
El Savador is the smallest country in South America and it has a population of 6.4 million people
Despite being the smallest country in South America it is by far one of the most violent and impoverished countries in the world
The Poverty rate is at 29% and has been on the decline the last 20 years
Some major factors behind the poverty rate include: Lack of government funded resources, jobs, gang violence and lack of education
Poverty has been a major component to El Savadorian life as a result of a lot of people not being taught the proper skills and having the educational background to obtain better jobs for them and their families
Even through the poverty, gang violence, lack of resources education has been a major proponent in the development and evolution of how El Salvador has been able to progress through the power of education
That is why I wanted to stress how COAR has helped change the economic and educational landscape in El Salavdor
