Past Programs
TraffickFree COMMUNITIES
TraffickFree COMMUNITIES (TFCs) was our primary program model in the U.S. TFCs were community led initiatives that resourced and empowerd local activists to work with key stakeholders involved in the life of a trafficked person. Oasis has observed in our own work locally and around the world, as well as, in other social change campaigns that community action leads to stakeholder action, which leads to real change. We help with the training and research process to help a TFC get going, but then a TFC organizes itself and meets regularly, with the aim of influencing each of the eight key stakeholders of a community.
Currrent Programs we support
Resourcing the work of Oasis around the world
Part of our purpose in the U.S. is to help identify resources (staff and funding) for the other countries in which Oasis operates. This ranges from sending U.S. staff/volunteer to help work under the local leadership in the country, to helping submit a grant for international work
Oasis Ministries supports Oasis India’s work across India.
