Oasis of Hope Foundation - Soccer Academy
This initiative was set-up by Rev. David Taylor. The aim is to reach out to boys and girls in the local community. Many of these young people simply have nothing to do, with little or no infrastructure being in place in these extremely poor neighbourhoods. The academy invites the students in and teaches them life skills and soccer expertise. At present we have 30 students, which includes several girls. The academy employs a director, secretary and one coaching staff. The programme is now being extended to include 2 of our partner projects, La Isla del Rosario and Pueblo Viejo, starting date 2026.
Children's Education & Outreach Programmes
Oasis of Hope Foundation provide support and outreach programs across the region of the Atlantic coast of Colombia. The focus of the work is to positively impact those communities that have and are experiencing enduring a degree of social deprivation.
The partnerships which the charity has developed within the communities are both empowering and enabling. Oasis of Hope seeks to free individuals and ultimately communities from the debilitating effects of poverty through access to good quality education and life opportunities. The projects that come under the banner of Oasis of Hope are:
a) Cienaga School
In 2025 the number attending the school was 320.
13 students graduated from high school with many of them going on to university or further education.
b) La Paz School
In 2025 the number attending the school was 350.
This school is situated in the Guajira, the desert area of Colombia where the school faculty is made up entirely of the Wayuu indigenous population.
c) Pueblo Viejo
