SUPPORTING AND EDUCATING YOUTHSince 1994, SHARE has promoted and coordinated scholarship programs for young leaders of scarce resources in rural areas. SHARE started this program with the aim of supporting young leaders to carry out their intermediate and university studies in the departments of Chalatenango, San Vicente, La Libertad and San Salvador. In 28 years of support, SHARE has seen the success in this support and accompaniment, hundreds of young boys and girls have completed their high school studies and a good number have culminated their university careers.
SHARE also supports youth with cultural programs, developing dance and theater groups, peace marching bands and agricultural schools for improving youth diets. All this support has contributed to the prevention of violence.

Roses in December 40th Anniversary Celebration 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of four U.S. women religious. On December 2, 1980, members of the U.S.-trained-Salvadoran National Guard raped and killed lay worker Jean Donovan, Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford, MM, and Maura Clarke, MM, and Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel, OSU. The women had been accompanying the Salvadoran people displaced by war and poverty. Their witness cost them their lives. Their deaths shook the world and were emblematic of the violence suffered by the Salvadoran people and the power of accompaniment.
The SHARE Foundation in partnership with LCWR has been celebrating the lives of our sisters; we are gathering pictures, art, and testimonies to remember them. We invite you to send us any material you may have on Ita, Maura, Dorothy, and Jean to Jose@share-elsalvador.org or to SHARE 2425 College Ave. Berkeley CA 94704 |
