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:

On our homepage we document the history of the association and with it the great life achievement of the honorary chairwoman Christine Weitmann and the active members and partners from the sponsorships. Many of their projects continue, of course,
but requirements change over time and new projects are constantly being added.
Key issues include long-term prospects for children and young adults, as well as
ensuring a sustainable future (environment, climate protection).. We inform about the current projects of AGAPE e. V., give an insight into the concrete work of our current team and the development of the association.

 

We are: Dr. Martin Maier (1st chairman), Dipl. Ing. Hans-Peter Hebel (2nd chairman), Christine Weitmann (honorary chairman), Dr. Charlotte Stirn (treasurer) and BSc. Maxine Jöhnck (secretary). The financial side is supported by Josif Herlo (cash auditor).

 

Please feel free to contact us: We welcome interested questions, new members and last but not least any donation.

Tailor training in Nepal (4th course)

Our partner organisation has been re-established and is now called Aim Aid Nepal (with almost the same team). We are being regularly updated on the current projects and what is needed in the future. The fourth course has just started, in which the 20 participants are learning everything they need to know to build their own professional existence. Social improvements are progressing very slowly in Nepal and there is still a significant need to support disadvantaged population groups in rural areas.
