Agros

WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR YOU. 

2020 was a hard year for Central American families. Like you, they had to weather the metaphoric COVID-19 storm and then in November they also had to weather two literal storms: Hurricanes Eta and Iota. While helping families recover from these crises will require significant, ongoing support, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU for the amazing work you accomplished in 2020.

You helped so many families overcome unforeseen crises.

YOUR GENEROSITY…

• Provided 1,545 adults and 874 children with emergency food supplies as COVID-19 first hit

• Provided masks, hand sanitizer, education materials, and other COVID-19 protective equipment to families, schools, hospitals, and health clinics, including 2,060+ individuals

• Distributed 20.8 tons of emergency food supplies after Hurricanes Eta and Iota to 36 communities, some accessible only by helicopter. 

Despite these unprecedented challenges, you also helped families continue their journeys toward sustainable prosperity through Agros’ regular services. Your generosity…

• Launched Healthy Start, a transformational new Agros program fighting to end childhood malnutrition in the Ixil region of Guatemala

• Introduced climate-smart agriculture to families and villages that Agros serves in Nicaragua

• Brought twenty new families to the Agros village of Nueva San José, Nicaragua, providing them with dignified housing, clean drinking water, latrines, and cookstoves

• Increased the number of harvests from one to two per year to four or more per year for farming families in La Bendición, Nicaragua, which significantly increases their annual income

Thank you for standing with families in need in 2020!

As 2021 kicks off, we’ll be praying that the whole Agros family—supporters like you, partner families in Central America, and staff—has a healthy and prosperous year ahead!
