AGAPE e.V.

"He who has seen the poorest of this world feels rich enough to help."

Albert Schweitzer

The non-profit association Agape has been active in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet and Romania since 1991. The focus is on disadvantaged children, for whom the association has built orphanages and schools in slums and rural areas. Our goal is to leave no one behind and to give children from poor families the opportunity of school education. In addition, the association is committed to ensuring that these children also have access to clean drinking water. We would be pleased if you would like to support us with a donation:

Computer classes in Purulia

During our last visit to India, Taan Das from our partner organization AGAMEE showed us their project in Purulia. She was particularly keen to purchase computers for training young people to help them get a good start in the professional world. It’s a nice project that we recommended to our members in our last newsletter. A very generous donation has now made this great project and more possible.

Obituary for Sunil Das

Unfortunately, we also received some very sad news during our project trip. Our long-standing project partner and founder of the Indian sponsoring organization AGAMEE passed away on 31.03.2024 after a long illness. Please read a personal tribute to his life and his commitment to a fairer world here.

News from India and Nepal

This year, we visited our dedicated project partners in India and Nepal. We found out about current projects and listened to what is needed in the future. As both countries are constantly developing, the opinion of our local partners is very valuable and important. Despite all the improvements, there is still a considerable need to support disadvantaged population groups.
