About us
The organization
OASA was founded in 2001 and now has over 80 members. The aim is to support people in the small community of Munyu in Kenya. The idea of self-help is very important for our organization. We support projects where our partners in Kenya are active and also contribute their own share. We pay special attention to sustainability.
self-help
We want the projects to be and remain permanent. Our board in Germany works completely voluntarily. In Kenya, we employ some people who take care of the projects. Because no one in Kenya can pronounce our name, we have found a translation of our name: OASA, organization for the assistance in self-help activities.
