Grant Description

A three-year project designed to implement APOYO's models for providing credit, training and technical assistance to 1,500 low-income rural producers and 7,000 family members, and for mobilizing $500,000 in remittances from Mexican immigrants in the United States for productive projects in their communities of origin.

This project aims to reduce migration to the United States by expanding income-generating opportunities in poor communities in the Mexican states with the highest migration rates.

Additional funds will support salaries for an advisor and promoters providing training and technical assistance in leadership, local development activities and agricultural techniques.
