A CAMPAIGN THAT'S TRANSFORmIng the lives of children
PureHeart: Africa is a life-changing initiative based on the instruction given in James 1:27 which tells us that pure and acceptable religion is caring for widows and orphans. The heart of Oasis Africa is to do just that! Through the facility located in Sierra Leone, we are already transforming the lives of children through our orphanage and the people of Sierra Leone by providing a community church and employment.
WHAT IS OASIS AFRICA
Oasis Africa is located in the heart of Freetown, Sierra Leone. It is a multi-level facility with around-the-clock security. The top floors function as the living quarters housing the children we have rescued – while the bottom floor serves as the church and worship center to share Jesus with people living in the region.
Recognized by the local government of Freetown, Sierra Leone, Oasis Africa will house up to 30 orphans in the current location. Each child receives a home, family, biblical and primary education and so much more. There are future plans to build an Oasis Africa compound where we will hold missions trips, where you can meet each child you have invested in, get to know our children who will learn sustainable skills like farming, fishing, and craftsmanship for future employment success and entrepreneurship.
In collaboration with the Oasis Cares international, we will not only feed thousands of families living in the country, but will provide food, clothing and hygiene/household necessities every month to those engaged at the church.
Get to know freetown
Freetown is a port city and the capital of Sierra Leone; located in West Africa. It is the largest city in Sierra Leone and has a population of approximately 1.5 million people. It is one of the poorest places in the world – often described as one of the least developed countries. 56.8 percent of the population live below the poverty line. More than 300,000 children are orphaned. They feel the economic contrasts of this country daily. These children have a one in five chance of dying before they reach the age of five and a 57% chance of never learning to read should they make it beyond the age of five. Of the 300,000 orphaned children, there will typically be no less than 50,000 children living, and in many cases working on the streets at any given time.
OUR VISION TO SERVE FREETOWN
Oasis Africa is now fully functioning! We have twenty-six incredible children in our care alongside a wonderful staff who also have living quarters in the orphanage so our kids receive 24/7 care. With a weekly church service, clothing days, toy days, and more, the children are thriving in their new home!
housing and Worship areas
We supply the children housed in Oasis Africa Living with top-tier furnishings such as quality beds and bedding to create a healthy environment for them to thrive. The lower level, Oasis Africa Church, makes up the worship center, church and multi-purpose room of the facility as in where we meet the spiritual and educational needs of the children and surrounding community.
