For years, Jenrry Reconco and Maritza Acosta have worked as day laborers on different farms across Honduras. Their daily effort under the sun barely provided enough to feed their children—Fernando (20), Suany (15), Dariela (11), and little Angie (6), who was born with Down syndrome and fills their home with tenderness and joy.
The family lives in humble conditions, without their own latrine and in a home that needs many improvements. Yet they have never stopped dreaming: they long for a dignified house, the chance for their children to go to university, and a future with more opportunities than they ever had.
That hope is now beginning to take shape thanks to a new Agros International project about to start in their community. Through this initiative, the Reconco Acosta family will receive farmland, mesh greenhouses, and agricultural technology that will allow them to grow vegetables more efficiently and profitably.
“With land and training, for the first time we’ll feel that our hard work stays within our family,” says Jenrry with pride and optimism.
For Maritza, the project means much more than planting crops: “We dream of improving our house, building a latrine, and seeing our children attend university. With this support, we feel it’s truly possible.”
Although the first crops are yet to be planted, the family already looks to the future with hope. They will move from depending on day labor to becoming independent producers—able to generate income, improve their quality of life, and open new doors for the next generation.
With land, technology, and support, the Reconco Acosta family is ready to sow not only vegetables—but also a future full of hope and dignity.
