One year. Jubilee soon! Water and food.

It's soon been a year since the workings of helping the orphans in Kisumu Kenya started.

It was on February 16th the first money, 58 dollars, were sent.

That time they had draught and starvation in the area. It is during that time of year that hits the area.

So too this year.

The well that managed to drill last summer is now dry.... They had to walk 9km to fetch water, walk through bush, past wild animals..... (Read more down below, Wycliffes words)

Let's sum it up:
There's no money.
There's no food.
There's no water.

IF: Water and Food = Life

THEN: Non-Water and Non-Food.....

They need you. We beg of you to help. Info here.

Agaptivity is looking forward to and hoping for your aid.

Kind regards

"Here the January hunger and draught season have started and our water bore hole is drained so including myself we walked 9 km  in deeper village past bush,wild animals and mountains to fetch for water and when we reached at the water point it was like a market so we too whole day there.It will be now whole week when Orphans have not reported back to school which us so sad.When you sent us 5,100 we bought food for Jemimah and the child plus the same food we as a family shared with 69 orphans so it was only for 2 eays and as i write we are back to zero."

2016 and 2015

A few words for 2016 and for the year put behind.

In Sweden we have a saying, sort of, 'New year and new challanges'. Some take the opportunity to fulfill all sorts of new years resolutions.

For Agaptivity a new year awaits too. Regarding challanges they are however not new but rather the same. Agaptivity's current project is aiding 69 orphans in Kisumu Kenya. Without the efforts of Agaptivity's members and donors their future would very well be uncertain. Thanks to you who help out supporting us we have manage these achievements:

• The orphans have a centre to live in. It is not a luxurious building but the do have a roof over their heads and can sleep safely at night.
  
• A drill has been borred so they have access to water.
  
• A latrine was also built. The latrine together with access to water is critical.
  
• We have managed to provide them daily access of food and sanitary items. Well, sort of.... (more down below)
  
• We could help out take care of hospital bills and medicines - thus probably saved lives..... when they were hit with malaria and cholera.
  
• Also we had two successful project gathering clothes, shoes, blankets, sanitary items, pens etc that we could send.

The challenge ahead is as before trying to reach out to as many as possible to get more members of Agapativity and donors, but also sponsoring companies. One important challenge because there are periods when they are without food. In December they had a period of 7 days without. It is hard for me, as an adult to even imagine such a thing. So being a child then (they are between 4-15 years of age) going through such a thing...well, I do not have to elaborate on that.... Concidering many of the orphans have HIV/Aids it is urgent to accept the challenge to continue the fight for them to at least have one meal per day, every day.

Regarding new years resolutions I have but one. That is to fight as hard this year as the last - every day till it's time to commit to same resolution again. The success of this resolution is however dependent upon, now as then as ahead, how many will join in ading.

Let me make this clear: You can make a difference. Trust me. The smallest of contribution can make the biggest difference for one of the orphans in Kisumu.

Thus I ask of you now to sign up for membership in Agaptivity and/or donate.

Agaptivity is 'Charity as it should be'.

• 100% voluntary
• No middle hands
• Minimal expenses

Visit us at www.agaptivity.org for more info about us and how to be a part of us.

Looking forward in having you on board!

Kind regards!

Food's out....

Sadly I have to let you know that the orphans are out of food since yesterday, Saturday.

Thus there's now an urgent need for food.

Apart from that the schools starts up again so there's also need for study material, books and pens etc.

That's it. As short as it gets.

The thing is that it all comes down to so little. One can make a big difference with small means. 20 USD is enough for food and sanitary items for 73 persons for one day. Therefore we at Agaptivity know that all contributions - small and big - can make a difference. You can make a difference.

Join and make a difference. Sign up for membership and/or donate. If you're running a business you can become a sponsor. More info on how to make a difference here.

Kind regards

More education

More on the orphans education. From Wycliffe.

Don't forget to visity Agaptivity's webpage - www.agaptivity.org

Uncle, schools opens on 4th Jan 2016. Needed are school uniforms, reading and writing materials, pens and pencils etc and school fee. Purchasing these now before the week of 4th is cheaper. After a long holidays it will be time to concentrate on how to get orphans access education. Their transport back too will be needed for those who learn far from the center or nearby village primary and high schools.We are in need. We need help, prayers and donations towards this urgent need. 

I have been in town window shopping for prices of school uniforms, text books, exercise books, pens, pencils, bags, cost of transport back to school and updated school structures. Doing all these preparations and purchases cones at a time when Sunday banks dont open and on 4th every orphan have to be park in school. Tomorrow banks opens till 12pm. The 69 orphans only 5 will not be back in school with 2 out of 5 getting to join high school soon. The other three are still sick that they can't walk to the bus station. So 64 orphans are whom we shall purchase school items for.With getting orphan back to school at a time. We are trusting God that are able to give orphans education they deserve, we count on Agaptivity. Shalom!

Join in helping the orphans. Helping their education is one of Agaptivity's goals.

Help them. Sign up for membership, donate or if you run a company you can become a sponsor. Find out more here.
