Equipping to Multiply
ECHO‘s East Africa trainers connect with family farmers through community group and school trainings, radio broadcasts, agricultural fairs, and farmer field schools.
From David Erickson, President/CEO
This is a special edition of ECHO News featuring content from our 2021 Annual Report.

As you look through this issue, I hope that you will see clearly the evidence of God’s great faithfulness …and celebrate with us!
