SALLY'S PROTECTIVE WORKSHOP
San Salvador through all its programmes and services are committed to the development of adults with intellectual disabilities towards self-actualization and to provide them with an opportunity to live a meaningful life, with support and guidance.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
The introduction of a protected workshop environment in 1991 created an employment and skills training center called “Sally’s Workshop”.
At Sally’s Workshop our residents and dayworkers are given a meaningful work opportunity, either in our Protective Workshop or our income generating projects (Garden of Growth and Weaving Workshop).
We follow a people centered developmental approach and provide capacity building programmes, work skills training and appropriate support services.
Residents and day-workers work within their own capabilities and speed. Nobody is pressurized above their level of competency and the day workers are remunerated monthly.
The Workshop has been in operation for 25 years and has become a leading community development programme and a significant contributor to the beneficiaries, their families as well as community members from disadvantaged communities, through assistance and support provided by the outreach component of Sally’s Workshop.
Being gainfully employed in a safe and emotionally conducive environment, contributes to individual and skills development, which in turn results in an increased feeling of self –worth, self-esteem, a sense of accomplishment and pride in what they are doing.
Our residents and day workers are making a meaningful contribution to society and the economy and are given the respect they deserve from the broader community.
