Support Everything El Salvador

As much as this is a passion project, there are still costs involved. Things like hosting, web design, and compensating local writers are typically covered through ad revenue. And in following suit with El Salvador's embrace of Bitcoin, we're avoiding the typical advertising model.

Rather than going the traditional route, we're asking for direct support from you, our readers.

In addition to supporting this website, 20% of all donations received will be passed on to local charities within El Salvador.

Thank you.
