Share is a space for inter-learning that strengthens our service by working with actors from different countries and by scaling up our interventions, making our common achievements visible in different territories.

Gerardo Morales, ASCVX, El Salvador

Comparte has been a reference for our organization. We both seek an alternative development model in dialogue with those we work with. We perceive a feeling of “walking together”, of being part of a network that is being built.

Alix Linares, Fundación SUYUSAMA, Colombia

The very name of the Comparte Network inspires us to understand ourselves in a complex interdependence, inviting us to feel part of the links that allow the construction of the collective.

Ivonne Guzmán, CINEP/Programa por la Paz, Colombia

We have incorporated the integral ecology approach into our strategic planning. Comparte is an opportunity to deepen our reflection and practice on this, the relationship between the enforceability of human rights and economic productive alternatives, issues of agroecology and responsible consumption. It is a path to be built.

Jenny Mera Suárez, Viviendas Hogar de Cristo, Ecuador

Hogar de Cristo Housing has experienced a strengthening of its capacities by being part of Comparte. This has allowed it to become an entity that reproduces capacities. Strengthening capacities is essential to prepare the human resources that facilitate the learning processes and promote gender equality and the participation of women in decision-making in the social center and in the producing organizations.

Simón Martínez, CEPAG, Paraguay

Being part of Comparte has been an enriching experience for our social center. Collaboration with this initiative has allowed us to expand our reach and provide greater support to our community.

Edith Condeña, CCAIJO, Perú

My husband worked in the mining industry, I worked as a housekeeper and my children were under the care of their grandparents. I trained at CCAIJO to raise guinea pigs, I invested in installing pasture and a shed, and my guinea pigs were bred. Every day required dedication, my husband noticed that I needed help, and we both quit our jobs. Now, we both dedicate ourselves to our business, we are together with our children and living as a family.

Christian Flores Carmen, CIPCA, Perú

Comparte provides the possibility of articulating efforts to promote integral ecology and the development of alternative economies, providing opportunities to share methodologies for the implementation of processes such as participatory guarantee systems and marketing circuits. It helps to strengthen the capacities of the social center staff and of the producer organizations in a network with other institutions. It integrates the social centers into reflection groups for the participatory definition of strategies that help to have more effective interventions in the areas of action.

Amaia Unzueta, Alboan, País Vasco y Navarra

The Comparte network provides us with an alternative practice and narrative to the dominant socioeconomic model, demonstrating that there are other ways to make the economy more humane and in harmony with nature. Being part of this network nourishes the hope that it is possible to choose to generate economic alternatives that generate decent livelihoods, and helps us develop our work of raising awareness and educating for socio-environmental justice.

Cristina Méndez Álvarez, Yomol A´Tel, México

The network provides training and support to grassroots organizations and economic-productive processes of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) with a gender perspective.

Sonia Laura, CIPCA, Bolivia

We value the Socio-Environmental Audit System (SASA) as a contribution to our institutional monitoring system, mainly in the social and environmental dimension. We also value the spaces for exchanging experiences related to ventures such as honey, agroforestry systems and cocoa.

Claudia Ruiz, ASERJUS, Guatemala

Being part of the networked community provides us with content to improve the practice of supporting community organizations and the sense of belonging and identity. Contributing in reciprocity elements from the worldview of indigenous peoples in Guatemala to the alternatives to development that we are building as a network.
