On average, families save $1,000 per month in rent and utilities, and Blessing Houses are furnished with all the basics families need. Most Blessing Houses experience a renovation time before families move in, providing the opportunity for Americans and refugees to do renovations together on homes. These are key times to better understanding one another's cultures, working together for a common goal, and learning basic skill sets. While it's easy to think that moving a family into a Blessing House is our end goal, it is actually just the beginning of an open door to do life together with many of the families. As of December 2024, Agape Pamoja has 25 refugee families residing in 20 Blessing Houses. One of these is a multi-family unit (apartments). This equates to over 175 individuals from the African refugee community living in a Blessing House. Agape Pamoja has 3 more units to renovate and move families into during 2024. More than 500 volunteers came together donating over 8,000 hours to renovate, furnish & maintain these homes. 99819 Helping students develop leadership skills is a key initiative for Agape Pamoja, and is accomplished through the Student Leaders Program. Qualifying middle and high school students for the refugee community commit to this special program that assists them with education, college prep, leadership growth, house renovation skills, driving lessons and support, and travel opportunities. Students that are a part of this program meet criteria to qualify and maintain their Student Leadership status. They are often academic forerunners in school as well as leaders for their sports team, as well as in their community. Students gain skills and run with opportunities to help them lead others well. The idea that "serving is a lifestyle, not an event" is practiced. While it is a requirement for students in this program to serve at least once a month with Agape Pamoja, most students serve with Agape Pamoja numerous times each week. As of December 2024, 17 students from 12 different families are enrolled in the Student Leader program with 500+ volunteer hours being given annually to make this program a success. 29198 Agape Pamoja is in the city most days of the week living life with and supporting the refugee community from many different avenues. We regularly meet practical needs such as providing food and clothing, assisting with cell phones and phone plans and coordinating to make sure each student has school supplies. We also invest in the growth & development of the refugee youth through special events strategically planned throughout the year. These include Gal's Bible Studies, Guy's Bible Studies, Galentine's Parties, Super Bowl Parties, special trips (Guatemala, San Diego, Colorado, Kentucky, and more), church camps, weekly Summer Socials, Student Leader Trainings, Christmas activities and New Year's Eve parties. Finally, Agape Pamoja hosts other fun activities like roller skating, theme parks, driving lessons, movie watching, swimming, sleepovers, supporting classmate's sporting events, and more. These events are open to the African refugee community as a whole with over 350 individuals benefitting from these activities. 30600 Providing grants to API Africa Inc 93-4673529, a related Tax-Exempt Organization, to help fund the purchase of housing and life skills training assistance in Tanzania for former refugee camp residents. 30600 553908 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 3 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false false false false false X LINDSAY GIESEKE VP 9135228937 237 SE Coyle Dr Lees Summit MO 64063 Brent Gieseke Board Member 20.00 0.00 X 20000 0 0 Krystal Dunahee President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lindsay Gieseke VP & Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Florence Ramatu Adegoke Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nathan Dunahee Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 20000 0 false false false 0 219892 12000 219892 Rental Payments 624229 193333 193333 193333 11405 9661 1744 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 424630 202994 1744 30600 30600 99819 99819 0 0 20000 20000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5616 5616 0 0 0 543 543 4071 4071 47 47 584 300 284 0 0 14423 14423 0 0 588 588 0 61556 61556 96246 96246 Blessing House Repairs & Maint 171065 171065 Contract Labor 65826 65826 Vehicle Expenses 15553 15553 Program Meals 14775 14775 -37508 -40373 2865 563804 553908 9896 0 32522 83439 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1803879 256732 1946902 1547147 39962 409608 0 0 0 0 2019386 2040194 31422 126197 97355 130436 254974 130436 X 1753118 1898464 11294 11294 1764412 1909758 2019386 2040194 -139174 284520 X false false false X 404563 1190123 203455 340523 231892 2370556 0 0 404563 1190123 203455 340523 231892 2370556 0 2370556 1 1311 11405 12717 0 1 1 2383274 0.99470 0.99950 X 158980 158980 1620399 249989 1370410 24500 6743 17757 1547147 false API Africa 412 SW Waterfall Ct Lees Summit MO 64018 30000 0 Refugee Housing Purchase Assistance 0 1 Affordable housing-refugee families 40 FMV Discounted rent & utilities Additional Supplemental Information Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 - Blessing House residents are all part of the African refugee community.
