Share Smiles is a nonprofit organization that sponsors rural communities with tourism potential in Central America. It was founded in 1997 and its philosophy focuses on education, creating an environment where children attend school and eventually graduate from high school; and in the process developing them through values and preparing them around the tourism/hospitality industry. Through its sister brands, the communities receive tourists that will eventually provide their sustainability.
