Regional Impact Centers

Centers of Hope

ECHO currently operates four Regional Impact Centers (RICs) throughout the world (North America, West Africa, East Africa, and Asia) with plans to expand into South Asia, Central America & Caribbean very soon… with more to come! Our regional contextualization allows us to serve and strengthen our local partners and their needs.

North America Impact Center

The North America Impact Center provides hands-on agricultural training and experiences for those aspiring to serve internationally, and those working in North America to serve resourced-challenge communities.

Through our gospel-centered beliefs, we’re called to equip the saints. Our farm in Fort Myers, Florida is the result of that calling. Our Missionaries in Residence program provides missionaries with a place to stay, learn, be refreshed, and fully prepare for the field.

Asia Impact Center

Our Asia Impact Center, located in Chiang Mai, Thailand, exists to help Asia’s poorest be more self-sufficient through agriculture.

West Africa Impact Center

West Africa has one of the highest concentrations of impoverished countries in the world, but our Impact Center is helping to grow a brighter future.

East Africa Impact Center

East African countries are experiencing rapid population growth, as well as increased hunger and poverty. Our Impact Center is helping families learn low-cost farming methods to boost production and improve nutrition.
