Last news about AGAPE construction project

ADDAX PETROLEUM & AGAPE Team

The construction project is delayed because of the building permit, which is difficult for the competent authorities to issue. But that does not matter, the time it takes, is not likely to cool our partners and us. We continue to mobilize energies around this project, in order to obtain the necessary means for its realization. And Addax Petroleum, during the month of March, contacted us to deliver the equipment necessary for the electrical installation of the future AGAPE Center.

And thanks to the help of Mr. Aliyou, friend and fervent defender of the AGAPE cause living near the construction site, we were able to store this material at his home. This so that it is immediately accessible, at the start of the project.

We were also able to meet the Regional Delegate of Social Affairs, with whom we exchanged on the question of the building permit which takes longer than expected to be delivered. She promised to get closer to her hierarchy, to try to see what is wrong so we can find a quick fix and start the job as soon as possible.

Construction project soon to begin

By Adama, Charlie, Germain & Ruth | Adama & AGAPE team

The construction project is more than ever about to begin. But some administrative delays drag things on. The building permit is not yet delivered and without it, we can not begin the slightest work. And meanwhile, we have received a donation from the company ADDAX PETROLEUM, from Christian Bassogog and from Mr Ravi Kumar of DANGOTE CEMENT CAMEROON Company.

It took a lot of fighting so far to achieve this result; even if it is not won yet. This project was born in 2015. This required a lot of effort, to investigate and find a plot of land that could house the project. During a visit of the members of our main French partner, we even did some research together. After finding a suitable land, our partner mobilized the funds so that we could acquire it. Subsequently, there was a question of legalizing the documents for obtaining the land title. Things continued with the establishment of plans and the filing of grant files. It took time, but today we are getting closer and closer to our dream that day by day becomes a reality.

In our quest for funds for the completion of our construction project, we approached many companies, including ADDAX PETROLEUM. The company showed interest in the project, and decided to support in the construction estimate, the amount of the sum reserved for the electrification of the new building. This amounting to 5,000 000 FCFA.

Cameroonian international footballer Christian Bassagog, CAN's best player 2017, paid a visit to the AGAPE Center on December 24th. He came with many provisions and necessities for the sake of the youth of the AGAPE Center. And when he heard about the construction project of the new AGAPE Center, he promised to offer the sum of 5,000,000 FCFA as his participation in this project.

On December 24, Mr. Ravi promised one million FCFA for the building project of the new AGAPE Center. And 3 days later, he brought an advance of 500,000 FCFA.

We have already received two donations. Some are still in the promise state, and others are still being analyzed for feasibility. We are patient, we are waiting for you and count on you.

     Thank you all and Happy New Year 2019!!!

The progress of the construction project

By Adama, Charlie, Germain & Ruth | Adama & AGAPE team

Fund raising online launched by Oceane

Things are moving more and more in favor of the construction project. After the issuance of the land title, the work of updating the detailed plans of the future house was started. This is how Océane launched a fund raising online, we received a large donation and the application for the building permit is about to be deposited.

Océane came to spend two weeks of vacation in Cameroon, has contributed to the development of youth AGAPE Center. This through her attention and some exits. She also managed to set up a fund raising online for the first two stages of the construction project for the future AGAPE Center. But it has not grown much since opening. Here is the link: https://www.leetchi.com/c/agape-douala-construction-dun-centre-de-vie-pour-les-enfants-de-rues, through which you could donate, or guide friends and acquaintances who would like to do so, to support the project. We are counting on you. Océane also wishes to continue helping young people, the association and the AGAPE Center as much as possible.

The AGAPE association and the SOLENCA association continue to work together with determination, for the realization of this construction project of the new AGAPE Center which, day after day, takes more shape. This is by mobilizing resource persons, by raising the awareness of local people and business men to support this initiative. A philanthropist who wishes to remain anonymous, showed her wonderful support for the project by offering the equivalent of the sum of 17 million FCFA. This is an important sum that will boost the project. But we always need your help and support, whatever the form, according to your possibilities (labor, supply of construction equipment: cement, sand and gravel trucks, iron bars, ducts, electric cables , supply and sewage pipes, equipment necessary for the installation).

The application for the building permit will be deposited at the beginning of October. We are also working on the preparation of a cocktail, for the presentation of the project, to raise awareness and bring potential donors to participate in it. And according to our forecasts, if all goes well as we hope, we will be able to proceed to the laying ceremony of the foundation stone during the month of November.
