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.
