Yesterday Agaptivity recieved 35 dollars. Thus we could send about 59 dollars and save them out of their rough situation - being without food for 7 days.

Today Agaptivity recieved a donation of 500 dollar!

Agaptivity thank these donors for their support.

Please donate you too.

New website in progress!

It is time for Agaptivity to have a new website. The reason is both to make it more appealing to the eye and easier to navigate. Our current website is built from Blogger and thus not the optimal solution for Agaptivity's purpose and focus. The reason we chose Blogger was because that was the tool we had experience working with and therefore the fastest way to get a site up and running.

Now it is time for a more real website.

As always Agaptivity aims at avoidning costs why we this time also use free tools. The only costs Agaptivity have is for the two domain names for the Swedish and English sites.

Here's a clipping from the start up page:


(The banners in English are: 'Membership', 'Donate', 'Our projects' and 'The voice of the children'. To the right of the picture/gallery it says: 'Charity as it should be', '-100% voluntary', '-No middlehands' and 'Non existent expenses'.)

Kind regards

Clothes soon to be sent to Kenya

Since spring this year Agaptivity have been collecting some clothes. Little by little. However it has not been that much worth sending and also there's been no funding for the shipment fee.

But then there are those people you just have to admire, admire for their energy and initiative!

About two-three weeks ago Agaptivity got help from Caroline Silvaro who gathered more clothes. Caroline also managed to collect almost 174 dollars to cover the cost for shipment.

Agaptivity and the orphans thanks Caroline for her initiative and for giving energy for further creativity and strength for continuing the important work.

In about two weeks Caroline together with Ted Sjovall will be back with yet another initiative, Caroline's idea, for getting money. 

Agaptivity welcomes more people helping out like this. All are welcome contributing in any way possible.

Kind regards

Update. Plus and Minus.

Hi! Apologies from Agapivity for not having updated for a few days.

PLUS: 
Awino's back from the hospital.
We recieved a donation.
Wycliffe could pay off part of the debt to the hospital.
Awino could get some of the medicine she needs.

MINUS:
Debt to the hospital still remaining.
Wycliffe at risk being arrested.
Awino need more medicine.
The food is out again.

Those following us know that Awino got back home again from the hospital. She's now back with her people, the orphans at the center.

The hospital debt is still there but to a lesser amount. Fortunately we received about 76 dollars why we could (after transfer fees) transfer about 66 dollars. Wycliffe used 61 dollars for paying off part of the debt and the rest for medicine to Awino.

Wycliffe managed to get at deal with the hospital management on diving the debt to three parts, tomorrow Tuesday and this coming Friday are paydays. If the debt is not payed Wycliffe is at risk being arrested.

Thus we still need 110 dollars for the debt and another 55 dollars for the medicine that Awino really needs. 

So little can do so much for them. So little is nothing for us. If we do this together we can solve this just like that. 

Let us make a difference. You can make a difference.

Kind regards

Urgent. Medicine and food. Now.

This is the situation:

Awino is back home from the hospital. Awino needs medication. The meds cost about 60 dollar. The medicine is strong and can't be taken on an empty stomach. Now, that is a problem....

They - everyone - have been without food for three days. Tomorrow will be day number four. Food for three days, including sanitary items, is about 60 dollars too.

Can you help out? 

Can you help out contributing so we get the 120 dollar?

Contribute this way:
  • Citizens of Europe - EU/ESS/Schweiz can pay via IBAN and SWIFT
    IBAN: SE12 8000 0845 2594 4336 0970

  • The rest of the world - use PayPal

Awino is liberated but the situation is urgent

The hospital management finally came to their senses and let Awino home. Their has now been many tears of joy among the orphans and Wycliffe and his family.

Yes, this is really joy for them despite the fact they have yet again been without food for two days. Could we ever express such a joy.....? Being so overwhelmed having their friend out - well, they are like a big family rather - that they don't concentrate on the hunger.

However, the hunger is there and the situation is urgent. They lack food and have debts to the hospital and for medicines and there's need for medication too.

NOTE! WYCLIFFE GOT A DEADLINE TILL FRIDAY TO PAY THE DEBT. THE RISK IS THAT HE COULD BE ARRESTED. THE DEBT IS ABOUT $170. A FORTUNE FOR THEM.  BUT TOGETHER WE COULD SOLVE IT JUST LIKE THAT! LET US TAKE CARE OF IT.

They need help. Can you help out? I belive you can.

You can make a difference - make a difference.

Sign up for membership or donate.

As always the money goes straight to them. There are no middle-hands. All work at Agaptivity is 100% voluntary.

Agaptivity and the orphans hope for your aid, hope in you.
