President Nayib Bukele has revealed that El Salvador will receive an $85 million investment from Saudi Arabia to fund a major environmental project aimed at cleaning and restoring the Acelhuate River. This significant investment is set to improve the region’s environmental quality and revitalize the aquatic ecosystem, which has been severely impacted by pollution.

The project is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to tackle water pollution and enhance the living conditions of communities located along the river. Many of these communities have suffered from health issues and deteriorating quality of life due to the environmental degradation.

With this international funding, the Salvadoran government is reaffirming its commitment to environmental protection and the well-being of its citizens. The project will not only help restore the Acelhuate River but also improve the overall health and prosperity of the affected regions.
