About
In March 2019, a small town in El Salvador named El Achiotal lost all funding for its youth soccer program. While the coaching staff were assured jobs elsewhere, their concern was for the children and the loss of the program. The boys and girls of El Achiotal no longer have a program to keep them engaged, healthy, and out of high-risk activities in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Pazitos is founded in New York by Salvadorans who are dedicated to raising the funds needed to keep the youth soccer programs running. Getting our children the gear, transportation, and support they need is our priority.
With your help, we can keep these programs running and continue to give these kids something to smile about. Although the mountain is great, so is our dedication.
Together we can climb to the top one little step at a time.
Pasito a pasito, we play for peace.
