Our Name
Glasswing: What's in a name? The Glasswing butterfly is a species native to Central America and Mexico. We see the butterfly as a symbol of positive change, and this particular species - with its clear wings - as a representation of transparency.Glasswing International is an independent, non-profit organization based in San Salvador, El Salvador. Our aim is to address complex social challenges and promote greater social integration by leveraging and mobilizing human, financial and material resources through strategic alliances, in El Salvador and Central America.
The Glasswing model consists of two areas of focus:
Social Investment Consulting: Development, implementation, and evaluation of social investment strategies and partnerships, including the design of concrete action plans - delivering high-impact measurable outcomes.
Crisálida: "The Volunteering Corps" of Glasswing, designing and implementing structured corporate and individual volunteering programs, as well as youth mentoring.
