In addition to land ownership, a focus on housing. We know that safe and healthy housing is essential for families to thrive. In 2021, Agros International provided home improvements and repairs for 52 families in Central America, and helped 33 families to build new homes. This work is important, as it helps families to create a safe and secure living environment, which is essential for their overall well-being.
Another area of focus for Agros International is education and training. Families need access to resources and support to develop the skills and knowledge they have in order to break the cycle of poverty. In 2021, we provided training in sustainable farming practices, financial management, and other key skills to over 1,400 individuals in Central America. This work helps families to develop sustainable practices that promote environmental conservation and protect natural resources, in addition to improving the health and well-being of their families.
Agros is also committed to sustainability. The organization recognizes that sustainable farming and business practices are essential for the long-term success of families and communities. In 2021, Agros supported over 800 families in Central America to implement sustainable farming practices, including the use of organic fertilizers and crop diversification. This work is important, as it helps to create a more sustainable future for families and communities in the region.
