This program intends to create concrete links between the country and the diaspora. The community which is organized outside the country is involved in a program of reading, writing, through volunteers who come from outside the country. They come to El Salvador to teach the communities in which they usually live to read and write. ne of the primary goals of the Literacy Program is to reduce the level of illiteracy from a rate of 18% in 2009 to 4% by 2014. This would put El Salvador on par with Costa Rica as having one the highest literacy rates in Central America.
