RENACER – A national campaign for land rights in El Salvador.
.”We have been fighting for many years for legal deeds to our property. Thanks to organizing, our families now have real titles to their homes.” – Yessenia Escobar, COFOA leader in La Galilea
Yessenia and COFOA leaders led the year long effort that secured clear titles worth $1.6 million for 80 families in La Galilea who had owned their homes for more than 20 years, but never got legal title to their properties. COFOA recently launched a national campaign, RENACER (Rebirth), to pass national legislation to resolve the property rights of all the families, estimated to be over 350,00, who are in similar situations across the country.
