Vision Statement
Since 1981 the SHARE Foundation
has worked with North Americans, faith communities,
Salvadorans in the United States, and economically
marginalized people in El Salvador to forge
community to community links that cross the
boundaries of gender, race, nationality, age
and economic status in pursuit of the vision
of the martyrs of El Salvador for peace with
justice.
The SHARE Foundation provides
assistance to communities that organize themselves,
as well as to local and national organizations
that are working in partnership with these communities
that strive to take hold of their own futures.
To this end, SHARE accompanies their efforts
to create their own models for social and economic
development and to find means to reclaim basic
human rights, fundamental civil liberties, and
degraded environments.
In El Salvador and the United
States, the SHARE Foundation advocates with
multilateral organizations, governments and
civil society for the right of all people to
be included in conversations and decisions that
will help them to control their own economic
future and to live dignified lives free from
want.
Recognizing the central role
of women in the nurturing and sustaining of
community and family life, and the injustice
of gender related prejudices that make their
lives doubly hard, the SHARE Foundation seeks
to incorporate gender sensitive analysis and
action into all of its work. SHARE especially
seeks to support programs that improve the economic,
educational, and human rights of women as well
as creating relationships of equality between
men and women.
Focusing on El Salvador, SHARE
works to:
-
Forge community-to-community
links between North Americans, faith communities,
Salvadorans in the United States, and economically
marginalized Salvadoran communities.
-
Assist communities working
for human rights, civil liberties, sustainable
environments, dignified lives, and freedom
from want.
-
Advocate for the inclusion
of the economically marginalized in conversations
and decisions involving their economic future.
-
Improve economic, educational,
and human rights of women.
