More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Land is a precious commodity throughout the world. Disenfranchised rural families lack access to the kind of credit needed to buy their own land. Trapped in a cycle of basic survival, they pay exorbitant rents for poor quality land or work for desperately low wages as migrant laborers. Agros restores hope and opportunity for such families by purchasing farmland, providing agricultural training, and much more. Families pay back the cost of the land, proudly earning right to its title.

Activities

Your help enables future Agros families to: raise and sell crops and animals; learn skills to increase incomes; gain access to potable water; build and grow their own businesses; and experience God’s blessing in their lives and relationships.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

The Agros model works to ensure economic, environmental, organizational, and social sustainability. Sustainability is not only key for the villagers themselves but for the long-term and integrated approach that addresses these issues.

Project Message

We desire that our children…have a quality education, good health, and, as we pay off the land through Agros, that they would have a place to live & farm. This is the future we want for our childre

Latest Update from the Field

Update: Sustainability for El Salvadoran Farmers

By Cathy Reilly - Direct Marketing Manager, November 23, 2010 09:50 AM

Thank you so much for your continued support of Agros villages in El Salvador like San Diego de Tenango!

We are excited to share with you the Summer 2010 update for the Agros El Salvador community San Diego de Tenango.  This update is also available on our website at http://www.agros.org/ag/villagepdfs/SanDiego.pdf. This report measures the success and outcomes of a village's development looking at Community Organization, Land Ownership, Housing and Infrastructure, Community Education and Training, and Sustainable Economic Growth.  Track quantitative impact measurements in San Diego de Tenango by reading the Annual Indicators and become familiar with the faces San Diego de Tenango. 

Learn about the inspiring story of Xiomara, an enterprising woman whose efforts with the chicken project proved so successful that she’s now opened a general store in the village.

We’d welcome any feedback you may have about these reports.  Thanks again for your dedication to the rural poor of El Salvador!
