Community Development Projects
Community development projects support organized rural communities and grassroots organizations as they organize and empower people to seek long-term, sustainable change.
The projects SHARE supports emphasize formal and informal education, gender equality, alternative economic initiatives, and community organizing and advocacy in search of viable models of sustainable development for El Salvador’s rural sector and beyond. Projects invest in people and the ability to create structural change for a better life.
To implement most of our community development projects, SHARE works closely with the grassroots organization CRIPDES, an association of communities working for the organization and development of rural El Salvador. Our partnership with CRIPDES regions allows us to reach hundreds of communities and thousands of families, empowered to identify problems and propose solutions.
SHARE currently works with four CRIPDES Regions- CCR, UCRES, San Vicente, and since 2013, CRIPDES Sur – to support ten Community Development Projects.
