Food security addresses issues of the availability and affordability of food, with a focus on nutrition. It’s estimated that approximately 140 million people in Africa face acute food insecurity. At least one in five Africans go to bed hungry, and almost 50% of child deaths are related to malnutrition.
Africa Oasis focuses on sustainable agriculture solutions to address food insecurity in communities. Urban gardening and composting are examples of how we work alongside communities to improve access to nutritious food and impact health.
Our strategies focus on local church partnership by using local resources to address local challenges because we know that LOCAL LASTS LONGER. All net proceeds go to designated projects and programs. Thank you for your support.
Recently Africa Oasis sponsored a Community Health and Evangelism training (CHE) for our AGWM-Africa missionaries. The workshop took place in the Zambia and was the first time that CHE training had been offered on the continent, to our missionaries. We had 15 spots available and all were filled. We were honored to have the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in the Zambia, Pastor Lipenga Banda, attend one day. Pastor Lipenga participated in one of the first CHE trainings in the Zambia many years ago. He enthusiastically endorsed CHE and said he was attending so he could brush up on his CHE knowledge.
Two US university agriculture experts recently traveled to Africa to partner with AGWM Malawi missionaries in assessing the needs of local Malawian farmers and pastors and to glean cultural understanding about the complex issue of food security on the continent.
