Oasis Association

General information

Moderate, mild, severe or profound intellectual disability affects approximately 3% of all people worldwide.

In 1952 a group of parents found a solution to the problem of their children being excluded from mainstream society when they started their own school – an oasis – for children with intellectual disability.

Today Oasis Association is a model of integrated services. We provide employment opportunities, skills development training, day care centres and residential homes for over 450 men, women and children in the greater Cape Town area. We are a registered non profit organisation (Registration No: 002-937 NPO) and have Income Tax Exemption in terms of Section 18A of the Income Tax Act. As a Public Benefit Organisation (930006609), donations are tax dedudtible.
