VISION
We envision El Salvador as a country where
all its citizens can meet their basic human
needs.
MISSION
To enhance the well-being of the underserved
people in El Salvador through human
development programs implemented in
partnership with our in-country Foundation,
FUSAL, and other organizations.
S.A.H.F. History
In 1983, the Salvadoran American Foundation (SAF) was founded in Miami,
Florida by Mr. Luis Poma and a group of friends who were concerned about
the social issues affecting the less fortunate in El Salvador. Consequently, a
sister organization, FUSAL was also formed in-country to be the recipient and
distributor of aid being shipped from the United States.
SAF Founder, Mr. Luis Poma, speaks during our 1993
Gala
Mr. Poma was an invaluable member of the foundation’s growth and vision
until his passing in 1996. Since then, his eldest son Ricardo has led FUSAL as
its President and his youngest son, Ernesto has served as SAHF’s Vice
President. The Poma Family continuous to be one of SAHF’s most important
pillars, as they generously continue to support and carry on with the legacy
that was left by Mr. Luis Poma.
Since 1997, Mr. Jose Eduardo Siman, along with the unconditional support of
the Siman Family, has served as the Foundation’s President. For the last 16
years, he has led SAHF in its growth and has been a constant, and caring
ambassador of the Foundation’s mission.
SAHF’s efforts are furthered enhanced by the commitment of the members of
the Board, who in many instances have volunteered their time and resources
since SAHF’s inception. Additionally, we are very grateful to our network of
caring and generous donors who allow SAHF to further its mission.
SAHF President, Mr. Jose Eduardo Siman during a
recent Gala
In May 2001, to reflect the work being done, the name of the Foundation was
changed to Salvadoran American Humanitarian Foundation (SAHF).
