They provide screening, surgery, therapy, prosthetics, and/or bracing to improve their quality of life and their ability to participate in society. We serve without regard to race, gender, religion, creed, or national origin.

Non-Medical Humanitarian Organizations
Agros International is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty for rural families in Central America and Mexico by enabling landless communities to achieve land ownership and economic stability. We have learned that the root causes of poverty extend across communities and are passed down from generation to generation, and so the Agros development model is holistic, sustainable, and focused on long term results. This commitment to the long-term sustainability of a whole community serves to break the cycle of poverty in all its forms.
