Who We Are
Who we are
Oasis for Orphans is made up of a small, but growing, group of families and individuals in the Chicagoland area. We are perhaps the least likely people to be doing work in the far-reaching places of Sub-Saharan Africa. We are an interesting mix of ordinary people; architects, homemakers, tradesman, pharmaceutical sales manager, CPA, pastor, and a lot of children. We all share a common desire to live out God's compassion towards widows and orphans.
