Mission

ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization) is an inter-denominational Christian organization located on a demonstration farm in North Fort Myers, Florida. ECHO networks with community leaders in developing countries to seek hunger solutions for families growing food under difficult conditions. ECHO has been assisting a global network of missionaries and development workers since 1981 and is currently serving agricultural workers in 180 countries. ECHO exists for one major reason, to help those working internationally with the poor be more effective, especially in the area of agriculture. We are a technical support organization helping community development organizations and workers do what they do. We do this in three ways: education and training, problem solving, and networking.
