About Us

Oasis is an educational after school program for kids and teenagers in Colonia Vicente Guerrero, Baja California Mexico, located about 175 miles south of the U.S./Mexico border at San Diego. It is a safe place for kids to come and play after school, receive help with their homework and school supplies, do arts and crafts, eat a hot meal, and learn English, computer skills, and other subjects.

Future Vision

We want to take the Oasis program into other communities in need of support, resources and motivation. We want to continue to sponsor our students through high school and beyond into the university level, providing scholarships and continued support. We want to invest in the lives of the youth so they in turn invest in their own families and communities.
