Welcome!

In a remote part of Ethiopia, far up in the northernmost part of the country our Ethiopian Resident Charity works amongst the vulnerable and marginalized people groups.

Children figure largely in what we do, as do women with childbirth injuries and the prevention of this plight and other maternal problems along with other lone women trying to hold their families together. Agriculture input in this largely agrarian community also plays an essential role in what we do. 

We have just re-registered under a new name – Abraham’s Oasis (formerly Stichting the Oasis Foundation); and a new status that of Ethiopian Resident Charity at the Charities and Societies Agency of the Ministry of Justice, of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (No.0905).

The name Abraham’s Oasis is special in that the child who comes to Grace Village, our residential village, who has no name that we know of, is given the father’s name of Abraham, the equivalent of the family name in Ethiopia. Thus Abraham’s Oasis becomes their heritage for the future.

The change in status is also positive because we are able to do income generation, to encourage our children to work and make a living from an early age; this includes helping the housemothers, gardening, cooking and developing cooperatives.
