Agaptivity greets its first supporting and contribution company!

We welcome Söljén & Co Försäkringskonsult! 


We thank you for the donation made today, a donation we immediately transferred to the needy in Kisumu Kenya. 



Thus you became an saving angel in their difficult situation having been without food for three days. Tomorrow they will have their bellies full again and their guardian, Wycliffe, will once again enjoy the smiles on the faces of the wonderful children. 



Thank you! 



Kind regards

Hunger. Questions, thoughts and answers.

They lack means for food. Again. Tomorrow will be the third day without food.... Agaptivity waits for means to arrive from the first company to support Agaptivity - Agaptivity says thanks! These means we know will come to us.

The reality is such that we need more members, donors and sponsors for having a steady flow of means, a secure flow of aid.

Agaptivity awaits members contributions to come in and other agreements, even if they aren't on paper, to be implemented.

While waiting for that we beg you who have been thinking about or is thinking about helping the orphans i Kisumu Kenya to take action and become members. You can really make a difference.

Very soon we will compile and present all the purchase made. This will be done both by documents and pictures of receipts from the purchases made. Agaptivity hope that this will punch a hole in any suspicions people may hold and undermine them who question the validity in this. 

There are those who doesn't question Agaptivity but the receiving part. But keep this in mind that that is actually questioning Agaptivity too. If the receiving part isn't honest that would mean that Agaptivity have been fooled, and if Agaptivity have been fooled then Agaptivity is not to be trusted either.

I, Ted Sjovall, have a way to say about this and that is that if you stick to the truth you do not have to think about what you say or do, the truth will be sufficient for itself. But if you are lying then you must always know what you have said or done to avoid being exposed. Thus I have on multiple occasions asked questions to see if I would get answers that are contradictory. That I have not found.

Another question that have come up is how much of the funding that goes to administraion, salaries for example. I, Ted Sjovall, do all this for free (I haven't even considered any fees or such). I do this because it is the right thing to do. The only expenses the organization have had so far is for two domain names (about $21). The only costs are the transfer fees and they are unavoidable. 

The money you give will reach its destination and will be used for what it is meant for.

We are looking forward in having more members and donors but also having people sharing our information. 

Down below a few words from Wycliffe.

Kind regards

MondayToday I spent whole afternoon praying for God's coverage and dedicating orphans at the the center then I had to sit down with the one on one for child counseling. [...]  
They composed a song..and Uncle ted is one of the lines and Agaptivity. 
Now two days again orphans going with nothing...so sad..When i was there,i had to a feeling...and it was painful to me when Joash asked me"Daddy,are we going to have no food again after these hours and nights and days??"Then i moved with tears..

Update!

An update is probably in order after the struggle for saving the centre and not having Wycliffe arrested. Thanks to some amazing donations we got the money. Please read previous post here on the blogpage.

Thus, the latrine is made. Now, as usual, there is need for food. Since so "much" had to spent on the latrine project the means could not be used for food. Wycliffe says it is great that the latrine is made but that there is need for food in the bellys for the latrine to be used ;)

Thursday we were happy to receive a donation so Agaptivity could send $68 for food. At the purchase Wycliffe said he would buy some sweets for the kids. Due to the stress they have been through they need some smile on their faces. They are more than worth it!

Down below some excerpts from the past short chats.

They still need help and YOU can help make a difference. Sign up for membershop or donate.

In the middle of the crisis, just before we solved it:Bro.Ted, If you can; i request you/us manage the crisis and headache we are in currently. Should we get some donations then first thing in the morning will e purchase and let work continue. [...] So i wait to receive from you as God enables you before we go to bed. Shalom! Pastor.Wycliffe.
Crisis solved:Great is the LORD!Toilte is complete.What remaining is paintings that when God provides the means we shall do.Kids are using it now.And the URGENT thing now is Food for the orphans and clean water.I am safe,i never got jailed because with friends help and Agaptivity support and donation we met the deadline of putting the toilet project done! 
we have the toilet, yes but for you to access a toilet you must put something in your stomach. this is what kids lack now for the past days even when were on the site working... i assumed the yawning and cryings because there was a target on my life...it is done!!
Thanks for the $68:Thank you.Because they had missed break first,i will buy enough sugar, tea, firewood, cooking oil, beans and rice and to make the kids happy,i will be getting the some candies, sweets and biscuits...just for smiles..

We did it! The centre, the orphans and Wycliffe saved!

It was a close call. In the very last minute tonight we received two donations of about together $180, thus the latrine project is saved. Now they can buy the things necessary for finishing it and let the children move back in again. Also the authorities will not arrest Wycliffe!

However! However, there is still need for money for food. The kids have been without food for days now. The money now collected could perhaps be enough for food too for one till two days. Perhaps....

They still need help and you can make a difference. Sign up as member or donate.

No food and thrown out. Their guardian at risk being arrested....

Not only aren't the orphans allowed to stay at the centre. Only God knows what they have to endure through the nights without their shelter.... Now they have also been without food for four days.

Greatful news is that Agaptivty received a $100 donation today. Being thankful is not enough of a expression. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now there's 200-260 dollars missing to finish the building the latrine. It must be done by Monday, or Wycliffe can show up the means (money) necessary for it. Otherwise the centre will be shut down, the kids will have to continue live, hungry, on the streets, while their protector, Wycliffe will be arrested.

200-260 dollar. That is however not enough for food too.

We're talking about 300-360 for the latrine. Then $68 is enough for food and saniatires/toiletries for 68 persons for 3 days. Not really that much money in itself. It is not huge sums we, Agaptivity, or they expect. Well, we don't expect anything really. We only hope. We hope that more will contribute however small.

Small means can make a big difference. You can make a difference. Sign up for membership or donate.

From urgent to crisis. Kids thrown out and Wycliffe arrested?

This is an update from the previous posts (here and here). 

Money had arrived and were sent, about $68, for building materials. The $68 is about 5.500 kenyan shilling) and they are by no means enough.

Now it is really a crisis. Why? Well, not only will the authorities close down the centre and the orphans will be thrown out in the streets. Also Wycliffe is at risk being arrested.

Agaptivity have begged for money before. Now it is urgent once again.

So, what are we talking about? We're talking about 300-360 dollars. That should be fixed rather easily and you can help.

If you can and want to help - now is the time.

Help! Still urgent! The orphans at risk being thrown out on the streets tomorrow.

This is an update from the previous post. The hole for the toilet/latrine is now done due to money being sent in the very last minute, the workers wouldn't have finished it otherwise. That was about 68 dollars. They are now gone. Now there is a need for building materials, timber, sand and cement etc.

The kids are now not allowed to be at the center due to the open hole (even though it is covered).

Deadline tomorrow. Then the centre will be shut down by the authorities and the kids will be thrown out in the streets....
