OASIS RELIEF
Oasis Relief works to advance education and health and prevent poverty in Zambia. The charity advances education by supporting the provision of facilities for primary education of children and vocational training of older children and adults. It promotes health by sinking boreholes to provide clean, safe water to vulnerable communities and by supporting a health clinic in a very poor compound.
