You can partner with Oasis to change children’s lives!
Guatemala is a country that struggles with deep poverty and tragic social issues. It ranks among the worst places for child malnutrition and child trafficking, and the country suffers from systemic, generational cycles of physical and sexual abuse. And more than 250,000 primary-school-aged children are not receiving any education at all.
In a structured community of family-style homes, Oasis provides a safe haven for Guatemalan girls who were rescued from dangerous environments. Some of them were forced into child labor, while others have experienced horrific abuse. They come to us in court-ordered protective custody, and all bears the scars of exploitation.
Some of the young girls cared for by Oasis are pregnant as a result of sexual abuse. Our La Arquilla program at Oasis provides specialized support for these girls, many of them pre-teens, and we care for them through the childbirth experience and help them navigate life as young mothers. As the girls continue their education, our onsite care center lovingly cares for their babies.
Kids Alive offers these precious girls a loving home with Christian house parents, and the girls have access to trauma-focused therapy to help heal emotional wounds. They attend school, many for the first time, and we provide legal support in pursuing justice on their behalf. Oasis cases are convicted at a rate of 70%, which is 12 times the national average. Living up to its name, Oasis provides love, care, and the water of Life to girls being rescued from the desert of abuse.
