COAR – Comunidad Óscar A. Romero
Sheltering, educating, and supporting resilient children in El Salvador since 1980.

A HOME

The COAR Children’s Village provides a home to abandoned, abused, and vulnerable children in El Salvador.

A SCHOOL

The COAR School, one of the best in El Salvador, is administered by the local Catholic parish with 1000 students, pre-K to 12th grade.

A COMMUNITY

The broader communities that COAR is a part of, including the Archdiocese of San Salvador and the town of Zaragoza, are crucial to fostering a sense of belonging.

A LEGACY

Founded in 1980, after the assassination of St. Oscar Romero, COAR is the oldest organization bearing his name and is proud to celebrate his legacy of love, service, and courage.

Together, we can offer safety, education, and a brighter future to those who need it most.
