The Share Foundation works with communities in El Salvador to end poverty in those communities by building sustainable local economies. The foundation's work has included funding local projects, advocating the U.S. government to stop its military support of the (now ended) civil war in El Salvador and, during the civil war, providing U.S. citizens as human shields for refugees. Visit the foundation's website for more information.
