Dear friends of the people of Honduras,
Warmest greetings and hope you are healthy and well. Two months after a pair of hurricanes decimated Honduras left 80% of people without necessary resources. It destroyed and affected up to 80% of the country’s agricultural production, utter despair, and near starvation is griping the population. |

Support young people from rural communities
to take their virtual classes!
Since the classes became virtual, the young scholarship holders have had serious difficulties due to the lack of signal and internet connection to take their classes and upload their assignments, in 2020, according to data from the Ministry of Education of El Salvador. School dropout was above 30%, so we invite you to support the young people of the rural communities with whom we work so that they can fulfill their dream of studying.
Thank you for supporting and believing in the future of the youth of the rural communities of El Salvador.

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 |

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT The SHARE Foundation strongly believes in the empowerment of rural women. Along with our partners in El Salvador, we continue to promote organic agriculture programs, emphasizing in the development of management skills for home gardening.
In 2020, this program benefited over 300 women and their families, who are now working their own organic gardens, caring for their land and improving their diet as well as their family members. ACHIEVEMENTS PER YEAR:

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 25 years of support we have seen the success in this support, 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 and gang membership.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
|
It is SHARE's constant effort to advocate and raise awareness about environmental justice, including prevention and responses to climate change.
According to the United Nations, El Salvador has the most devastated natural environment in the western hemisphere, after Haiti, with 93% of its water polluted by toxic chemicals, heavy metals and waste matter. The SHARE Foundation is accompanying in solidarity the different organizations, Universities and Churches who demand a responsible and equitable water governance in El Salvador. |
