COFOA leaders pack government offices to press officials for property deeds valued at $1.4 million

Thousands of people were resettled by the Salvadoran government on land that was made available after the war. Many never received clear title to their property.  Most efforts to ask for help have been met with government delays and excuses.   COFOA leaders are at the forefront to advance national legislation to make sure that 100 families in Galilee gain legal title to their properties. For the past year, leaders have organized residents to press the mayor, the national land agency, and national assembly representatives from the La Paz Department to formulate and advance the legislation required to untangle this mess. Victory will mean that Galilee residents are rightful owners of property valued at $1.4 million.
