Thank you for your interest in helping the people of El Salvador! The rich history of this beautiful country is defended every day by its dedicated citizens, but the help of concerned citizens abroad goes a long way to providing resources and recognition to these folks.
Below are some organizations that we have become partners with over the past few years. They will lead you in the right direction in how to help.
http://www.share-elsalvador.org/
SHARE (Salvadorian Humanitarian Aid) supports the empowerment of historically impoverished and marginalized communities, as they strive to meet both their most immediate needs and construct long-term sustainable solutions to the problems of poverty, underdevelopment and social injustice.
The communities that SHARE works with in El Salvador are changing the structures that keep people poor through an integrated effort that is reactivating sustainable local economies, creating viable rural policies that aid subsistence farmers, and financing projects that provide for the empowerment of women, development of leadership and community organizing.
SHARE also has a dynamic Sister Parish and community program where a relationship of accompaniment is created with communities in the US and El Salvador.
SHARE is about systemic change. SHARE's advocacy program challenges corporate globalization with sustainable community development alternatives. This is the reason SHARE has been able to serve the communities in El Salvador for over twenty years. SHARE has great local partners, friends, staff and supporters.
