About this organization
Mission
Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, 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. Agros’ vision is that rural poor families own agricultural land, attain economic self-sufficiency, realize their God-given potential, and pass on to future generations the values and resources that enable them to flourish.
About
The Agros model is a uniquely holistic apporach to alleviating rural poverty. By providing long-term land loans to the poor along with training and services, entire rural villages are empowered to become self-sustaining and escape the devastating effects of extreme poverty.Agros served 424 families in 9 villages and 3 countries with integrated programs in four core opportunity areas: land ownership, market-led agriculture, financial empowerment, and health and well-being. Every community realized meaningful improvements such as agricultural production increases, building community infrastructure, and increased food security in each opportunity area.Agros made significant investments in capital infrastructure in order to improve the use of agricultural technology in Agros villages. For example, the village of San Jose, Nicaragua, now has an irrigation system that allows farmers to dedicate themselves to high value crops such as peppers. Additional irrigation systems will be implemented soon. Furthermore, Agros opened three agribusiness centers that provide the families we serve with the resources they need to move from subsistence farming to economically sustainable production.Agros' health and well-being programs were particularly successful this past year. Our dedicated team of staff members and brigadistas (community members who volunteer as health promoters) ensured that 100% of women in Agros communities had access to healthcare during and after pregnancy; 100% of families in Agros villages had access to clean drinking water; and 98% of the children in Agros villages were enrolled in and regularly attending school.
