Rebuilding Agape 

In January 2005 Agape was devestated by a big fire. No one was hurt, but the building was deemed unhabitable by the fire department. The children, who had lost so much already, again lost their home and their possessions. Uthando is doing everything in its power to raise enough funds for a new home for these children.

Coins for charity

Local broadcaster Radio and TV Gelderland has started a campaign early this year to collect guldens (the old Dutch currency, before the euro) for rebuilding Agape orphanage. Through radio and TV viewers and listeners are urged to search forgotten drawers and closets. Research has shown that there is still a total of 1.4 billion guldens (approx. 635 million euro or 760 million US$) present in Holland. 2006 is the last year this old currency can be changed for euros. Read here how this 'old' money can still be useful!

A HOME for the Children of Agape!

Hard working and generous giving has led to a fantastic result. We are proud to announce that the children of Agape's visit to Holland has raised over € 31.000,- (approx. 37,000 US$)! Combined with the money raised in the US, this is enough to realize all rebuilding plans. In short, the children of Agape will have a new home! Read everything about the result of this action.

The Children of Agape in Holland!

Between December 16 and 27 ten children from this orphanage came to Holland to raise money for rebuilding their home. Through numerous events and a lot of publicity they tried to raise as much money and awareness as possible.
