Programs
Since its inception in 2007, the Oportunidades Program has aimed to empower at-risk Salvadoran youth with limited economic resources by providing tools to transform their lives and their surroundings. The main purpose is to reduce the educational gap, shaping integral citizens capable of facing any challenge. Its methodology combines technical knowledge and soft skills, offering an innovative curriculum tailored to current technological demands. It is currently the only program providing complementary academic excellence, holistic Higher Education, and employability access, guiding young people through three phases with coaching support.

"In the Oportunidades program, I learned valuable lessons, such as the importance of teamwork and resilience. Despite economic and health difficulties, I managed to excel academically. Oportunidades opened new doors for my future, including the creation of a successful start-up presented at the Achievements Fair 2023 and obtaining two scholarships to study at ESEN and Harding University, thanks to the support of the program’s staff."
"Katherine is a young graduate of Dr. José Matías Delgado University. She is currently a market research project analyst, which has allowed her to achieve merits and successes in her life, learning to believe in herself, even when family and economic circumstances were unfavorable. She acknowledges that she has not always obtained everything she wanted, but she values the experiences, good and bad, that have helped her grow personally. She takes pride in her story for never giving up and for having the determination to move forward despite obstacles. She has managed to study abroad thanks to the support of the Oportunidades Program and has developed the ability to empathize with others. She recently started studying her second degree, which has allowed her to start a professional life full of learning."
Helping Those Who Help from the Gloria Kriete Foundation stands out as one of the most influential social initiatives in El Salvador. It seeks to generate a collective impact for social development, involving key sectors in addressing several issues ranging from education and health to clean water supply, food security, infrastructure, and environmental protection. This initiative directs its funds towards three specific areas: NGOs, Social Entrepreneurs, and Community Development. Additionally, the program has implemented training support that encompasses community projects and social enterprises, fully funded by FGK. This training support aims to enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem by facilitating the growth of social impact business models and to train community leaders, strengthening their skills in project management for social initiatives.

Being one of the supported projects by “Helping those who help” has significantly contributed to improving the lives and competencies of the vulnerable population in our community. It’s also been instrumental to strengthen the community’s organization through the creation of orchards, adoption of agroecological techniques to improve soil and the environment, as well as improving the local economy and allowing a better nutrition for the island inhabitants.
As a community, we are very pleased to see this project for a safe access to everyone become a reality. We know that we are a community quite distant from the city, but with God’s will, the support from the Gloria Kriete Foundation, and the effort of the community, it was made possible.
As a young entrepreneur, being part of the winning projects has allowed me to envision the direction of FUNGIPI with greater focus, integrating the knowledge and benefits of the program. FUNGIPI will continue developing by modifying and adjusting the administrative, legal, and production structures, not only in a commercial aspect but to also benefit Salvadoran society.
We will start by registering the company and obtaining the necessary permits, while simultaneously offering the products coming from the modified production space.
Five years ago, the Gloria Kriete Foundation committed to using technology to reduce social gaps, collaborating with prominent international partners and becoming a local leader in spearheading the use of digital platforms. Thus, the "Tu Chance" program was born, driving digital innovation by offering free platforms that stimulate learning, professional development, and employability among the Salvadoran population. Through this program, the aim is to promote the use of digital tools through innovation and personal transformation. The program provides Salvadorans with opportunities and free platforms that enhance learning, professional development, and employment prospects.

He is a young entrepreneur who studies English and is passionate about livestock farming, which he started from his desire to follow livestock procedures and techniques that he initially did not understand due to the language barrier. However, now, thanks to the Training Center that offers opportunities to young people in English and TuChance that offers online courses, Fredi has been able to achieve his goals. Currently, Fredi puts his knowledge into practice and continues to learn through TuChance.
Carmen has become a professional thanks to the courses she has taken through TuChance in “Capacítate Para El Empleo,” which allowed her to develop her skills in areas such as manufacturing, customer service, and spelling. She now has three certifications that add value to her profile and open doors in the job market. She is currently continuing to learn through TuChance in hospitality and tourism topics that have allowed her to train other young people within the Redentor Foundation.
