The Agape Call Centre
Agape Connecting People is a leading outsourced contact centre services company which specializes in call centre services and email marketing. It was established with the desire to hire people regardless of background or circumstance. This has led Agape Connecting People to hire inmates, ex-convicts, single mothers and the disabled, training them and providing them with sustainable employment and income. It has established a call centre within the prisons to rehabilitate inmates by teaching them a skill and thus providing their families with an income.

“Unconditional love”
It’s the meaning of Agape in Greek and it is also what Anil David’s wive and family embodied throughout his incarceration. Anil founded Agape Connecting People Pte Ltd in 2012, and it was his way of honouring his wife and their two young daughters. It continues to be the good news many of Agape’s employees need, in different points of their journey of redemption.
Agape is a contact centre set up with the purpose of providing sustainable empowerment towards the marginalised through employment. They include inmates serving time in Changi, physically challenged persons, single mothers and ex-offenders. From Nov 2018, our reach will be further extended into Changi Women’s prison, and leveraging on technology, we will be able to reach out to displaced civilians via home-based work. This will benefit even the visually impaired and single mothers who cannot commute to us.
Agape will then be able to offer a thorough, balanced service across 4 concurrent locations with a combined capacity of more than 250 seats. We hope to impact in excess of 500 marginalised individuals by 2020 through dignified work, helping them regain respect as they rebuild their lives and families.
SOCIAL IMPACT
SPARTAN | TINY | SUFFOCATING LONELINESS.
Despair and hopelessness beckons within the confines of a prison cell.
BUZZING | COOL | LIVELY CHATTER
This is a space where minds are actively working, information is constantly processed and disseminated. Except for the shaved heads, identical outfits, little else suggests that they are within prison walls. Perhaps for the first time in their lives, they can lift their heads high and finish well. Life for them and their families will never be the same again.
