We implement development programmes in impoverished areas where our support can demonstrably improve people’s well-being, especially by strengthening their livelihoods and increasing their resilience to disasters. We take an integrated approach, working with local organisations and groups, especially women, helping to empower them to work for positive change for their communities.

Disasters, whether caused by natural events or conflict, create immeasurable suffering for poor and vulnerable communities that lack the ability to manage the impact of disasters on their lives and livelihoods, and often receive little aid. We provide emergency support, including food, shelter, water and hygiene kits, and follow up with rehabilitation assistance to help the poorest people rebuild and improve their lives. We need your help to support Oxfam's humanitarian work!

Among the causes of poverty are unjust and unfair policies and practices at the level of governments and institutions, corporations, and society in general. Oxfam therefore conducts public campaigns and development education programmes to raise awareness about poverty, its causes and solutions; develop and propose fair policies; and change mindsets as well as behaviours.

Campaigns
