Our Mission
We strive to touch individual lives and needs, one person at a time.
What We Do
Carrying out Health & Education Missions to underserved and economically deprived communities in developing countries, mainly African.
Provide Scholarships to indigent students who would otherwise dropout of the school system, with particular emphasis on the girl child.
Carrying out community healthcare and education outreach programmes to enable underserved communities pursue their economic activities and reduce poverty.
Working with local communities to explore the use of culture and tradition-oriented positive lifestyles for disease prevention and control.
Working to strengthen local health systems through training and manpower development.
Keeping in constant touch, through social media, with local healthcare providers where we work with necessary updates and follow up.
Aiming to touch individual lives and needs one person at a time.
Who We Serve
Agape World Missions is dedicated to reaching the most vulnerable populations in developing countries. We currently focus our efforts in Nigeria (including the Ohaozara Local Government Area in Ebonyi State) and Kenya (specifically the Mukuru Slum in South B, Nairobi).
Our work prioritises indigent students, particularly the girl child, who are at a higher risk of being withdrawn from the school system when funding becomes scarce. Through our healthcare outreaches, we support communities that lack access to basic medical and dental care.
Why We Do This: Nne's Story
The story of a lady we shall call Nne, whom we got to know during our trips, sheds light on the situations in some of the areas we work.
Nne, a widow in her 40s with three young children, was diagnosed at the local hospital with breast cancer. She was referred to the teaching hospital at the state capital about 40 miles away. As medical treatment in most of Africa involves fees at the point of use, she was unable to travel to access this treatment.
When we got to know about this during our visit, we provided her with some funding to go to the teaching hospital. We promised to assist with the treatment once we knew what was involved and the costs. The next information we received was that she had passed away. Her three children had to be sent to three different relatives to raise them.
Tragically, this story is common in these underserved, deprived communities. It is why we remain committed to bringing accessible healthcare directly to those who need it most.
