WELCOME TO OASIS OF HOPE INITIATIVE
Welcome to Oasis of Hope Initiative,
Hi and welcome to the Oasis of Hope Initiative. This is an initiative that hopes to give hope to hundreds and hundreds of young people through provision of conducive learning environment. The most unfortunate thing in the world today is that provision of education is limited to the moneyed. It is a great injustice to see that majority of young people remain fixed to untold poverty since they cannot free themselves from that cycle by accessing education.
Oasis of Hope Initiative is a chance to compliment the noble undertakings meant to educate the less fortunate in the society. This we undertake through:
v Payment of school fees to needy pupils and students in basic and secondary levels.
v Guiding and counseling pupils and students on career choice.
v Motivating pupils and students to nurture positive thinking towards learning.
v Providing learning and related materials to pupils and students.
Oh, Just a Minute
Have you ever undervalued education? Did you once think learning is wastage of time? You were wrong. Education is the only opportunity that frees one from modern-day slavery. No one can underestimate the power of knowledge. This knowledge is boosted through learning. Without education, there would be no doctors, lawyers, engineers, drivers, hairdressers, teachers, pastors and many others. There would be no schools, hospitals, airports, buildings, trains, airplanes and so many things. In fact, there would be no life!
Give us a hand
Americans are famed for many things. However, this American saying holds the honors. ‘I am because you are and you are because I am.’ What’s more than this? We cannot change the dimension of life, but something little that we can do for someone can leave an imprint in the person forever.
We hope to give hope. We hope to empower the less fortunate through education. The Chinese talk of providing fishing skills and tools to the hungry instead of providing fish. This is why we reach a positive dimension in others through education. If you believe in our cause, please give us a hand and let’s empower others through education.
