2.3 million people are unable to meet their basic needs for food and shelter.
60,000 Salvadorans struggle to survive on less than $1.90 daily.
100,000 children face higher risks of stunted growth and cognitive issues.
The typical pay is inadequate for sustaining a family.
El Salvador's political instability is primarily driven by rampant gang violence, with gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18 creating widespread insecurity and challenging state authority. Improper practices further undermine stability by eroding public trust and fuel social unrest. Additionally, intense political polarization between major parties, ARENA and FMLN, leads to frequent deadlock and ineffective governance, exacerbating tensions and instability.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods inflict substantial economic damage on El Salvador, impacting infrastructure, housing, and agriculture. Rebuilding efforts strain government resources, diverting funds from development projects. Housing and infrastructure suffer recurring damage, hindering long-term progress. Agriculture, crucial for food security, is vulnerable to crop and livestock losses, exacerbating poverty. These disasters perpetuate social and economic vulnerabilities, impeding development efforts.

High unemployment rates and low wages are making it difficult for many families to afford adequate food. The agricultural sector faces several challenges, including limited access to modern farming techniques and limited access to markets. Food insecurity is a significant driver of migration from El Salvador. The loss of labor due to migration further strains local agricultural production. Natural disasters, climate change, political instability, and gang violence hurt food production and distribution.
