Transitional Care
 

 

Regenerating

Oasis India enables individuals afflicted by poverty and HIV, those trapped in sexual exploitation and situations of human trafficking to be equipped and empowered. These individuals participate in a programme that restores them through justice, socio economic development, and prepare them physically and emotionally for self sustaining productive lives in safe communities. The target groups are women and minor girls rescued from situations of sexual exploitation and women and children infected and/or affected by HIV AIDS.

Recognising that each persons adjustment abilities and needs differ; special plans of care are chalked out to achieve the best possible transition into mainstream society. The activities in the plan include education, training, health & psychosocial care in a safe environment.

Working alongside the government and partner agencies in the concept of restorative justice, Oasis India's Transitional Care programme is defined by four principle components, namely, Referrals, Home Based Care, Residential Care and Reintegration.
Susheela, who had been rescued from a brothel, was soon moved from the government protective home to an Oasis home in South India called Potters Wheel. She tested HIV positive and started undergoing treatment. She is also engaged in training at the home where she is learning stitching, embroidery and candle-making along with English conversation skills. She looks forward to going back to the city, getting a job and supporting herself.

Like Potter's Wheel, Nirmal Bhavan is another Oasis home for young girls and women rescued from situations of abuse. Purnata Bhavan is a home for women and children infected and/or affected by HIV AIDS.
