Improving Facilities to Serve Better
Recognizing the importance of a welcoming environment in their work, L’Oasis Familiale identified the urgent need to improve its physical infrastructure. To meet the evolving needs of the families they support, the organization launched a project to update its facilities with new furniture and materials that would enhance comfort, functionality, and dignity in service delivery.
Thanks to funding from United Fund for Belgium, the centre was able to make these essential upgrades. The new equipment has significantly improved the experience for both beneficiaries and staff—creating a brighter, more organized, and more inclusive setting that reflects the care and respect the organization is known for.
“On behalf of the babies, their mothers, and their families, a huge thank you to UFB for enabling us to improve our care and support to help them get off to a good start in life!”
Brigitte Charles, President
