About Us

Founded in 2017 in El Salvador, La Factoría Ciudadana is pioneering social and economic reintegration for individuals seeking a second chance.

We activate underutilized human capital and address the root causes of irregular migration and crime, reducing both the human and financial costs of repeated cycles of deportation and incarceration.

Every person we support multiplies the impact within their household and community.

Santa Marta Coffee Farm Our Reintegration Hub

The Santa Marta Reintegration Hub turns once abandoned and insecure land into a living symbol of renewal and purpose.

The site combines active coffee cultivation with continuous skill-building programs, developed in partnership with national and U.S. allies.

It’s not just about coffee, it’s about creating jobs and giving people a real opportunity to rebuild their future.
