What We Do

Living Oaks is a platform to raise awareness of the needs of the vulnerable around the world and share more about their ongoing projects to support them.

So far, some of the projects include building Africa's first oceanfront university in Mozambique: the first university in East Africa to have a full-fledged 75-hectare campus that allows students to pursue subjects such as marine biology and maritime studies, constructing 40 primary schools in war-torn Congo for over 300 children each, a school for blind children who have been abandoned and living under extreme poverty, and erecting an airstrip in an obscure village in Borneo, Indonesia to enable speedy medical evacuations for children living in orphanages and homes there. Beyond architectural expertise, they also run feeding, education, healthcare, employment and other sustainable programmes that have supported over 50,000 people in 10 nations.

In Ukraine, we’ve been a steadfast presence in the midst of one of the most devastating conflicts of our time. Since the war began, we’ve provided life-saving aid, rebuilt homes, and offered trauma care. We’ve delivered food to families in hiding, supported local churches, and equipped teams to care for the displaced.

Amid the destruction, we’ve witnessed extraordinary courage and resilience. This is not just relief work — it’s a movement of healing, restoration, and hope. Together with local partners, we’re not only rebuilding homes but lives, bringing light into places of darkness.

Living Oaks comes from the vision in Isaiah 61 — where brokenness is made whole, and ruins are restored. We are here to stand with those rebuilding, to see beauty rise from the ashes, and to show that even in the darkest times, hope never fades.

Rudy and Baoyan would love to connect with like-minded people who are passionate about what they do and scale up to do more, whether it is in terms of volunteers or other partnerships.
