An appeal to support victims of Amanda Storm in El Salvador
Urgent appeal for solidarity in the face of the disasters caused by the storm Amanda.
|
The SHARE Foundation informs that this May 30 the Salvadoran territory has been strongly affected by the Amanda storm, causing major floods, landslides, river overflows, tree falls. Hundreds of families living in risk areas have lost their homes and belongings, according to civil protection data, there are people who have been swept away by the currents and others who were buried, at the moment 4 people are reported dead. This is in addition to the already serious famine situation that families live in since we have been quarantined for COVID-19 for more than 70 days, without being able to go out and earn a daily living.
The call we make is for you to support us with donations to buy food and other needs to support affected families. Please share this appeal with your friends For ideas and questions please contact jose@share-elsalvador.org or call 510 848 8487 Thank you for your support José Artiga, Executive Director |

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.
