About The Oasis Project

The Oasis Project was founded by Chris Hayter in 2007. After her initial visit to The Gambia in February 2006, she returned seven times that year, fostering a strong bond with the community of Bakau. Chris realised that she had a calling to make a difference in the lives of those who lacked a voice and were unable to recognise the opportunities available to them. No child dreams of a life of poverty and suffering. We’re sure you agree that every child deserves a chance, at least, at an equal start. We help solidify these aspirations. Not only do we help children get those essential sponsors, but we support and facilitate local projects in the Gambia. We do this while improving health and living conditions across the community. What’s most important to us is self-reliance and sustainability. Think of the proverb: ‘If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime’. That’s exactly what we do. We teach and support the community of Bakau to fish for a lifetime. Fish for sustainability, their environment, and their futures.
