The Oasis Fund approach to this challenge

• Poverty remains - despite government, donor and
  non-profits considerable investment
• Need new approaches that are bottom-up and market
  based
• Oasis Fund approach
• We are a private equity fund which invests in
  innovative, commercially viable enterprises which
  are designed to generate an attractive financial
  return and significant social impact.
• These enterprises deliver essential goods and
  services that directly benefit low income
  communities by providing access to affordable
  housing, healthcare, education, energy,
  livelihood opportunities, water, sanitation and
  the like.
• We believe that by achieving a financial return
  coupled with a social return, capital markets can
  and must be tapped at scale and directed to
  commercial investments which fuel market-based
  approaches to solving the worlds most critical
  social and environmental problems.
