Story
Thank you for helping reach our fundraising goal for Tierras de Vida! Agros International's mission is to break the cycle of poverty and create paths to prosperity for farming families in rural Latin America. Founded in 1984, Agros advances a holistic model of economic and social development through four key opportunity areas: land ownership, market-led agriculture, financial empowerment, and health & well-being.
We have been part of the Agros experience now for 11 years. Participating in 10 service trips to Guatemala and Nicaragua has been a transformational experience for us and the people we have traveled with. Seeing first hand the faith and joy of the rural farm families and their appreciation for the opportunity that Agros provides to break the chain of generational poverty is a humbling experience. Their life is not easy but the challenges of hurricanes, political strife and farming setbacks do not deter them with Agros walking by their side. Seeing their children receive proper healthcare, nutrition and education gives them a hope for the future that was never a possibility before Agros.
To date, Agros has partnered with 45 rural communities in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua, impacting the lives of over 12,000 people. This year's gala will be an incredible opportunity to join us in learning more about Agros and what we do, as well as the incredible work being accomplished throughout Central America.
