What Oasis Mozambique does

Oasis Mozambique is a non-profit charitable organization (association) operating in Mozambique since 2002 and formally registered in 2005. It is the Mozambican affiliate of the Oasis global network, a UK-founded movement (1985) spanning 53 communities across 5 continents. The organization delivers community-based development programmes through approximately 10 staff, operating across six provinces: Maputo City, Maputo Province, Sofala (anchored in Beira), Manica, Tete, and Cabo Delgado. Its director is Armando Licoze, and its headquarters are at Rua da Resistencia, 297, Bairro de Malhangalene, Maputo.

The organization's programmatic portfolio covers Community Health, Livelihoods (including Community Savings Groups), Youth Empowerment (READY+ movement and Football for Life), Human Trafficking Intervention, Climate Change Response, IDP Response, and Education. Programme delivery relies on partnerships with local churches, schools, community organizations, national government entities, and external collaborators including Young Africa. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is fundamentally people-led, community-embedded development work rather than a software- or AI-enabled service.

Oasis Mozambique does not generate commercial revenue in the conventional sense. It is funded through donations routed via the Oasis Global portal (oasisglobal.org/donation) and through grants and partnerships. The organization is exploring a planned e-commerce merchandise store as a supplementary fundraising channel. As a charitable association, financial figures are not publicly disclosed, and the donor pipeline — while anchored in Oasis Global and partners like READY+ — is not itemized in available material.

Core offering

Oasis Mozambique delivers a portfolio of community development programmes across six Mozambican provinces, covering health (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, WASH, sexual and reproductive health, SGBV referral), livelihoods, youth empowerment (including Football for Life / READY+), human trafficking intervention (transit point monitoring and reintegration), climate change response, internally displaced persons support, education, and community savings groups. The integrated, holistic model is delivered through care groups, peer facilitators, community health activists, and local partner organizations.

Product overview

Additionally, Education Programmes cover early childhood, youth, and adult literacy. Supporting these are Community Savings Groups and the Picture Booklet Series (an illustrated learning tool used in care groups). The organisation operates across six provinces (Cabo Delgado, Tete, Sofala, Manica, Maputo City, Maputo Province) through an integrated, holistic approach focused on community transformation and inclusion.
