Futuro del Mañana Winter '10
By Shannon Gallagher | Annual Campaign Manager
Friends of Agros,
Thank you so much for your continued support of Agros villages like Futuro del Mañana! The village and community continue to make great strides to creating a prosperous village with 100 percent of the villagers participating in some form of income-generating projects.
For the majority of families in Futuro these income-generating activities involve producing agricultural products. Even though production has fallen due to drought in the region, the families persevere. This quarter the families have begun plans to construct water basins in the field that have the least access to water. These water basins will help mitigate the effects of the drought and allow for increases in productivity.

Futuro del Mañana Autumn '09
By Shannon Gallagher | Futuro del Mañana Autumn '09
Friends of Agros,
Thank you so much for your continued support of Agros villages like Futuro del Mañana! The village and community continue to make great strides to land ownership this quarter with 72 percent of their land loans paid off.
Last quarter we quoted one of these hard working villagers on their commitment to paying back their land loans. We are very happy to report that this family has paid off their land loan entirely and will be receiving the title to their land very soon. Sayda, the matriarch of the family, had this to say about her family’s success: “I can now rest and think about other projects for the children. It is so nice to be free from this type of commitment and even nicer knowing that I have kept my word with Agros.”

Futuro del Mañana Summer '09
By Shannon Gallagher | Annual Campaign Manager
Friends of Agros,
Thank you so much for your continued support of Agros villages like Futuro del Mañana! The village and community at large continue to make great strides to land ownership this quarter.
A quote from one of the villagers demonstrates her family’s commitment to paying back their land loans: “It has taken a lot of sacrifice for us to pay our loans,” says Sayda, “but even though it is hard, we are right on schedule. In my household we may not always buy new dresses or shoes or decorations, but we are always paying our loans on time. We really want to be the next family to fully pay off and get our land title and we are really close to being done!”
Attached you will find the Summer update for the Agros village of Futuro del Manana. Every quarter, the Agros US office receives a progress report on each village on topics such as: Community Organization, Land Ownership, Housing and Infrastructure, Community Education and Training, and Sustainable Economic Growth.
Enjoy!
