In 2023, my family and I started what we thought would just be a small food program. One afternoon, we met two children going door to door, hungry and searching for something to eat. That moment broke our hearts. After praying about it, we felt God calling us to open our home-to feed, care for, and teach children in need about the love of Christ. That's how Oasis Children's House began. Today, we look after more than 40 children from a community deeply affected by HIV/AIDS. Many of them have lost their parents and face hunger and hardship every day. Some children were forced to beg, while others worked for no pay just to survive. We couldn't ignore that reality-so we stepped in, starting with 15 kids and whatever we could grow from our small garden. Through faith, generosity, and the kindness of others, Oasis has continued to grow.

Last October, thanks to the help of volunteers and donations, we built dormitories, a dining hall, a guard house, and offices. But we're still working toward big dreams-a kitchen, a library, and a small pharmacy. Education funds have been our biggest challenge, but every day we trust God to provide.

Keeping these children fed, healthy, educated, and loved is a daily mission. Every meal, every book, and every smile is proof of what God can do through caring hearts like yours.
