Pastor Mauricio of San JacintoSanta Ana is a region located in the western area of El Salvador, Central America and has a total population of close to 700,000. Approximately 300,000 people live in or near urban centers and the remaining 400,000 live in semi-rural or rural communities. The most recent FLACSO report states that 23% of the population or 161,000 people live in extreme poverty (making less than $1 per day) and 46% of the population or 332,000 people live in severe poverty (making less than $2 per day). The region is diverse and has complex challenges. The urban areas are densely populated and face security issues, household waste problems, and unemployment. The rural areas are also densely populated but face critical challenges such as dilapidated roads, inadequate housing, poor health and struggling economic development. These challenges are evident at different levels in the communities of San Jacinto and Comecayo.
