South Africa
South Africa stands alone in Africa as having the continents biggest economy, yet it is still a county of great poverty.
Oasis' focus is on combining local and international expertise to find innovative ways in which the local church can work to address the issues facing South Africa: a country where 42% of the population are unemployed; the HIV infection rate is estimated as high as 21% and less than 15% of schools have access to computers for teaching and learning. The overall aim is to model effective community work and to equip local churches to get involved in their communities by offering training, consultancy, and support to churches.
