La Libertad Coast
Our Story

La Red began with a family, a calling, and love for the people of La Libertad’s coast.

Salvador and Mayi Castellanos, together with their children Rodrigo, Marcelo and Andrea, arrived with willing hearts and a simple conviction: love God, serve others.

Today we are a registered Christian nonprofit in El Salvador and the United States, still driven by that same heart.

Our Facilities
La Red Facilities in Playa El Tunco
La Red Center • Playa El Tunco: An open coastal hub designed as a safe refuge for worship, learning, and fellowship.

There’s a building at El Tunco Beach that looks a little different from the surf shops and restaurants around it. It’s our campus, and on any given day it’s full of children, teenagers, families and volunteers working side by side with our local team.

A space designed for transformation.

A space designed for transformation.

Our modern, safe facility features open areas for community events, three equipped classrooms for our Bible school and educational programs, and a technology lab with 20 computers, high-speed internet, and Smart TVs.

Every space is air-conditioned and cared for, because a dignified environment sends a message before class even begins: you belong here, and you matter.

Built to serve, built to last.

Built to serve, built to last.

A kitchen for program meals and community events, staff offices, and clean, accessible restrooms complete the campus. And 80% of it runs on solar energy.

Designed to endure coastal conditions while providing maximum hospitality, dignity, and continuous service for generations to come.

Strategically located, intentionally open.

Strategically located, intentionally open.

Located in the heart of El Tunco, our campus is intentionally rooted where the community needs it most—bridging local families with new opportunities for growth.

Come see what’s possible when a community has a space of its own to learn, connect, and thrive.

Voices of Transformation
Written Stories

I think it just means so much knowing that me just spending some of my time can impact somebody for days and can change their everyday life. It just means so much that the Lord can just use me in that way and I can just be the hands and feet of Jesus for our family and they could just glorify God.

When they told me they were going to build our little home, I felt an overwhelming joy, a happiness words cannot describe, because at last I will have a dignified and secure space for myself and my young daughter.

We learned that summer is not just for resting; it is for dreaming and growing. The teachers taught us so much, but we also taught them how to be kids again.
