Background
VIDES (Volunteers International for Development, Education, and Solidarity) was started by the Daughters
of Mary Help of Christians, Salesian Sisters, in 1987 as an opportunity for young adults to collaborate with
the many ministries that the Sisters carry out throughout the world. The primary apostolate is working with
youth and young women in schools or youth ministry settings.
The Sisters in Chalchuapa run a preschool and
home for girls in at-risk situations.
There are currently 32 girls who live there and 90 preschoolers who study there.

Mission
The Chalchuapa Fund, begun by VIDES+USA Missioner, Sydney Moss, goes
to establish a Health Fund for the girls and
to set up a Bakery
where the girls and other women from the community learn a trade to be able to support themselves.
Furthermore, contributions also help to provide basic education
and the learning of other life-skills.

Chalchuapa in Nahuatl means Jade’s River
Jade was admired as the stone of love, inner peace, harmony and balance. Your contribution brings us a
step closer to achieving that goal.
