Agros Blog

We have been in contact with our Guatemala Director after the recent activity from Volcano Pacaya near Guatemala City, and there have been no damages or impact to Agros staff in the city. The regions where Agros works in Guatemala are far removed from the volcanic activity, which is only affecting the departments of Guatemala, Escuintla and Sacatepequez directly.

We are, however, concerned about Tropical Storm Agatha.  The sheer amount of rainfall has significantly increased the likelihood of flooding and landslides across the region.  Our field staff work weekly and directly in Agros villages and we will be surveying and assessing any possible damages throughout the week.  We’ll post updates here on the Agros blog as we have them.
