In family-style homes and nurturing classrooms, children learn they are loved by God and equipped for a hopeful future.
Orphaned and vulnerable children grow up in a generational cycle of poverty and brokenness.
When children come to Oasis, they are often recovering from traumatic situations. Left unaddressed, this trauma doesn’t simply disappear over time.
With comprehensive care, they can experience healing and grow up to be the next generation of changemakers.
Spiritual Support
Children encounter the enduring love of God through weekly church services, Bible study, and consistent discipleship with Kenyan mentors who care deeply for them.
Food, Shelter, and Medical Care
Children live in family-style homes within a neighborhood setting, led by Kenyan adults. This safe environment ensures basic needs are consistently met.
Quality Education
With access to quality schools, tutoring, and passionate mentors, children are equipped to pursue a better future and dream beyond survival.
Trauma-Informed Care
Children receive emotional support from Kenyan adults trained in trauma-informed care, helping them heal from past wounds and look forward to the future with hope.
Empowered Local Leaders
In family-style homes led by caring Kenyan adults, children experience belonging, cultural pride, and daily care. Surrounded by leaders who model faith and resilience, they grow up equipped to thrive and strengthen their communities.
Family-Style Homes
Research indicates that orphanage-style homes are not best for the development of a child. That’s why children at Oasis live in small, family-style homes.
Our sites have a neighborhood feel, and each "house" creates space for children to belong and be known. House mamas, aunties, and uncles are always Kenyan to ensure our children have a safe refuge with familiar cultural practices.
Healing Activities
Extracurricular activities like our award-winning chess and basketball programs provide a healing space for children to enjoy being children.
Thanks to our committed, loving team members who guide these activities, students can experience the transformative power of play and build valuable skills like teamwork, perseverance, and discipline.
Better Educational Outcomes
Fewer than half of Kenyan students move on from 8th grade. At Oasis, students not only complete 8th grade but often do so with scores much higher than the national average.
When students pass this pivotal milestone, an alternate future is unlocked. They can pursue higher education at a secondary school or university to chase their dreams.
Education unlocks opportunity.
Children have access to quality teachers committed to their growth, tutoring and one-on-one support, and extracurricular activities where they can discover new skills and passions.
