San Salvador, Apr 16 (EFE).- Daniel de Jesus Mejia and Mabel Lopez both are back in El Salvador after encountering difficulties in the United States.
Badly in need of support in a Central American nation with high levels of poverty and violent crime, they turned to a non-governmental organization that provides psychosocial, small business and other assistance to returning migrants.
The mission of the Alliance of Returned Salvadorans (Alsare), an NGO founded in 2015, is the “comprehensive reintegration of returned persons in their territories of origin,” Juan Toledo, the group’s president and a former migrant who moved back to El Salvador in 2014 after living in the US for 28 years, told Efe.
