Agape International : The progress report 1991- 1995 and the program for 1996 on the humanitarian relief and development Agency of the Evangelical Church in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia & Herzegovina

Agape, the humanitarian relief and development agency of the Evangelical Church in the Republic of Croatia, was founded on December of 1991, in Zagreb, Croatia. Developing the same humanitarian concerns for war-torn Bosnia & Herzegovina, this institution started its activities in that republic as well. By establishing this organization quickly and effectively, many thousands of refugees and exiles were helped. Agape International was established by expanding the humanitarian projects from Croatia into the new-born country. Agape International combines and coordinates humanitarian efforts in both republics. From the beginning Agape has collected, stored, distributed and coordinated the distribution of dry food, baby food, hot meals, used clothing, medicine, medical equipment, second-hand furniture, sheets, covers, school and sports supplies, kitchen appliances, gardening seed, children’s toys, as well as many other things that a refugee family, having left everything behind, may need. Agape International helps in the following ways: directs spiritual or material aid to the needy, coordinates extension offices and various projects in different churches and church institutions for more effective aid to the needy, establishes and organizes mission teams, groups and individuals in the places where the need is greatest, collects the basic materials and financial necessities in order to offer better help, stores, files, schedules and distributes material (food, clothing, medicine, etc.) directly to receivers, founded an orphanage, home for aged and other similar institutions, opened the counseling centers for people damaged by postwar psychological stress, visitation to prisoners held in detention centers and prisons, organizes free time for people in refugee camps, organizes evening school for the refugees (language classes), organizes transportation of humanitarian relief. Agape is present in over 103 cities in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Smaller amounts of relief have been distributed (either money or material) to individuals or organizations in about ten different counties of the countries in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Aid has been sent to the following: Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina (Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian part), Albania, Belorussia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Macedonia, Moldovia, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Serbia (Kosovo and Vojvodina) and Ukraine.
