Since 1982, the Agros Foundation has helped families in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Chiapas, Mexico build self-sustaining and thriving communities. Our development process is simple but powerful. We are a Seattle-based, non-profit organization that extends loans to purchase farmland, and partners with farmers in applying sustainable agricultural practices, all in the goal of enabling these families to create, develop, and eventually own their own sustainable village. Agros currently supports 24 developing communities and has helped nearly 4,000 people build new lives for themselves by facilitating land ownership and providing technical assistance, training, capital loans, village infrastructure, and volunteer work teams to support the work and vision of community members
