Dear Friends,2015 was a courageous year at Agros. You have done so much to materialize our mission. Through your

generosity this year Agros supported 755 families in Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Guatemala on

their path toward hope and opportunity. In El Salvador we have accelerated our efforts to realize our

dream of providing land titles to families in four villages – a process we are close to finalizing.

This year you invited 50 impoverished families to build new futures by launching La Bendición.

You partnered with Engineers Without Borders to increase coffee profits in Tierra Nueva with a

new wet mill, helped tilapia farmers in Piedra de Horeb organize an LLC to cooperatively buy

and sell their fish, and achieved remarkably low child malnutrition and high school attendance

rates in many of our communities.

To celebrate this year, I asked my team to gather their favorite photos, scrapbook-style, to share

our gratitude with you here. They highlight your achievements, because we couldn’t help a

single family without your partnership. There’s also a map and financial report to give you the

big picture overview of your impact in 2015.

Before I go, I wanted to share a peek into what the next year holds. We’ve been talking a

lot lately about the idea of prosperity: what it looks like for farmers, how we get there, and

how we measure it. Prosperity is multi-faceted – you see it in our families’ clean homes with

running water, excellent school attendance, and chubby, well-nourished babies. But prosperity

is also fundamentally economic. Once families’ basic needs are met, we need to equip them

to generate consistent income on their own. In 2016, we will continue building a road to

economic prosperity for our families by partnering with private agricultural companies and

local businesses. These partners build on the stability that your investments are establishing

to turn our families’ farms into profitable businesses.

Not only will this market-driven approach accelerate land loan repayments, it will also leverage your

donations by recycling some part of your investments into the next project. Our business plans for each

of our six active communities are ready to share with you. So please, check those out! We look forward

to showing you the transformative results you are making possible.

With gratitude for your partnership & excitement for a great year ahead,

Alberto Solano

Executive Director, AGROS

Have you heard? Skip Li, Agros founder, has rejoined our board. We’re thrilled to have his wisdom and visionary commitment to ending rural poverty back on our leadership team.

Helping landless farmers develop thriving communities

EDUC ATIONOur educational and adult training programs focus on lifting an entire family out of poverty through knowledge. Education for children reduces poverty, ends wasted potential, and creates a pathway for civic participation, and economic choice for the next generation.

AGROS 2015 GRATITUDE REPORT PAGE 1

LANDLand is the foundation of our approach to ending poverty. We help the rural poor gain access to land and launch agriculturally-based businesses, empowering families to acquire productive assets and generate income.

MARKET-LED AGRICULTUREHighly-skilled agronomists provide families with the technical expertise, business development, and market information needed to successfully cultivate, harvest and market their crops. This enables families to integrate with the economic value chain for true wealth creation.

HEALTH & WELL-BEINGHuman development officers provide emotional, psychological and spiritual support while fostering community ownership of preventive healthcare, good nutrition and proper sanitation and hygiene.

FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENTCredit officers customize financial products to meet the cash flow and seasonal needs of the families to ensure business success and to teach basic financial literacy like budgeting, saving and investing.

How does my investment transform families’ lives with Agros?Our work with families is uniquely holistic and participatory, helping them sustainably change their trajectory from poverty to prosperity and build better futures for generations to come.

RECOVERWe stabilize

desperately poor families in new villages with shelter,

clean water, food, and basic healthcare.

BUILDFamilies begin

developing their community and livelihoods, accessing education and basic credit,

and working for themselves for the first time.

PROSPERAt the culmination of

5-7 years, families manage profitable agribusinesses with strong, independent market connections to

provide consistent, year-round income. Families become titled land-owners

within a self-governing community.

GROWAt this stage our

focus shifts to economic development as families grow more valuable crops, develop

business skills, and harvest a predictable crop surplus to

sell within established markets.

La Bendición launches 50 new families on the path out of povertyThe master plan for La Bendicion incorporates 30 years of learning into a model that tackles past challenges, like lack of water and family attrition. This spring The Global Studio, our design partner, helped us select fertile, well-positioned land and engage families in a participatory design process. Families helped make key decisions around lot size and housing placement in one of the final community layouts, shown here. They’ve nearly completed housing, water, and community infrastructure construction, laying the foundation to build the community of their dreams.

NIC ARAGUA REGIONAL PROJEC T BECOMES LA BENDICIÓN After weighing our resources and commitments, we have curtailed our work with regional families to focus on the families in La Bendición. Rather than overreach, we’re committed in 2016 to delivering quantifiable results to you and our families. By focusing this next year on agricultural market development,

we can help our six current villages develop sustainable farming businesses and develop a more sustainable funding model by treating crop cycles as investments.

This spring, with your help, we partnered with 50 families to launch La Bendición, our first new community since Tierra Nueva.

We partnered with Engineers Without Borders this year to build a beneficio so families can efficiently depulp, ferment, wash, and dry their own coffee. The more farmers process their coffee, the higher a price they can command in the market for their crop. Plus dried coffee beans can be sorted by quality and size, allowing farmers to sell their best beans for a premium. Advances in technology like this beneficio leverage community resources to help farmers move up the value chain from survival subsistence farming to profitable and dignified agribusiness ownership.

“I’m so happy to be here,” says Walter, one of the founding partners of La Bendición.

“This is a fertile land… We know that if we plant corn we will harvest corn and if we plant beans we will harvest beans. It is a blessing. I feel happy and at peace here.”

La Bendición Tierra Nueva Beneficio

Victor’s wife Candida worked in the coffee fields from age 14. For his three children, Tierra Nueva offers a different life: village school, playtime with neighbors, and the promise of inheriting land and a thriving agricultural business.Beneficio means

“benefit” in Spanish. Thanks to you, that’s just what this new beneficio – a coffee wet mill – will do for Tierra Nueva’s 150 coffee-growing families.

Fishy business in Piedra de HorebFive years ago, farmers in Piedra de Horeb like Germán were forced to work for giant haciendas, without any control over their futures. Now, well-organized, they’ve created their own sustainable, registered and profitable business. They consistently supply in-demand tilapia to markets that guarantee a steady income. That stable income, combined with safe housing, healthcare access, and education for their children, has changed the trajectory of these families’ lives.

Witnessing the success of Piedra’s small scale business operation is an encouraging and promising glimpse at what the future can look like for all of our communities if we implement this market-driven strategy on a much larger scale in 2016.

Healthy babies in Nueva EsperanzaWhen Carlito was born, his mother Yaris knew breast-feeding was crucial to ensure healthy development. But her milk made him sick. Agros staff helped Yaris identify that Carlito was allergic to breast milk and taught her how to use a powder to make soy milk instead. It worked. Carlito’s chubby cheeks are evidence of Nueva Esperanza’s low rate of child malnutrition – the result of a holistic program of maternity support, child weighings, nutrition training, and help accessing resources like powdered soy milk for Carlito.

Piedra de Horeb Nueva Esperanza

Fish farmers in Piedra are generating a prosperous living through the business of fish

– a market-driven model that we’re ready to replicate.

“We didn’t have the opportunity to grow up in a good environment, to study or to have nice things,” remembers Carlos, Carlito’s father.

“Our dream is to give these things to our children.”

The proof is in the pudge – Carlito is one of more than 50 healthy

children in Nueva Esperanza, where your support has

beaten back child malnutrition.

“Land isn’t just a seed from an economic point of view. It is also a seed of hope. I believe that hope is the first thing that must be planted in people so that we can have a better future.”– Jaime Arauz, Mayor of El Tuma-La Dalia, Nicaragua, where Tierra

Nueva, Nueva Esperanza, San José and La Bendición are located

Where are Agros communities?This year you partnered with 755 families in 11 communities and supported the transition of four villages from direct Agros support to full self-governance.
