Oasis Skills Training Academy (OSTA)
Based in Kambuzama, a high-density suburb of Harare, OSTA provides vocational training to disadvantaged young people and the local community.
There is a shortage of skilled IT workers in Zimbabwe, so the training offered currently focuses on computer skills. It is hoped these skills will enable young people to find employment and support themselves and their families.
The courses offered currently include: small-scale agriculture, IT training, tailoring and carpentry. Students are also offered a place on an entrepreneurial course that teaches business skills and basic bookkeeping and provides successful applicants with start-up loans.
