About Us: Our Team

A volunteer organization

Poor kids playing in the street Children of the Street (COTS) is an organization formed by professionals that volunteer their time in order to achieve extraordinary accomplishment in the lives of children.

COTS spent over three years analyzing the problems of the children in El Salvador. During this time, members of COTS met with different organizations to do a full needs assessment. COTS met with different charitable, governmental, religious, and private organizations that are solving parts of the problem. Most of their focus is short-term, however.

Each child that COTS serves has a unique set of problems and a variety of circumstances that have forced him or her to live on the streets; therefore, COTS seeks to individualize the services for each child. Changed circumstances rarely lead to change in people’s lives, while changed people inevitably change their circumstances. Toward this end, our primary focus is individual child development following an approach that recognizes the value and potential of each individual child we rescue from the street.

These children grow up to become positive influences in their own communities, closing the cycle of our efforts, bringing a long-term solution to the problems El Salvador faces.
