FTPF is thrilled to be returning to El Salvador, a country where deforestation and soil erosion has had serious environmental, social, and economic impacts. The rural population here is most greatly affected, with nearly one million Salvadorans living in poverty and over 50% of El Salvador’s land unsuitable for food cultivation.

SINCE 2013, FTPF HAS HELPED PAVE THE WAY TOWARDS A HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR SALVADORANS SINCE 2013, FTPF HAS HELPED PAVE THE WAY TOWARDS A HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR SALVADORANS by planting and distributing fruit trees throughout the country, including with families, schools, and women’s groups. Working closely with two respected NGOs, SHARE El Salvador & CONFRAS, we have launched a ten-year plan to plant 100,000 fruit trees, entering its fourth year with excellent results: "We have been able to feed ourselves, make money & have noticed a change in the environment. Thank you for all the effort you have put in towards the success of our land."--Don Pedro Juan de Jesus Avarca (pictured) standing next to a mango tree we planted two years ago.
