Oxfam is a movement of millions of people, all working towards one goal – an end to poverty for everyone.
We can take on the big issues that keep people poor – like inequality, hunger and climate change – if we each play our part, however small it may feel.
Oxfam is a vibrant global movement of dedicated people fighting poverty – together. Doing amazing work – together. People power drives everything we do.
From saving lives and developing projects that put poor people in charge of their lives and livelihoods, to campaigning for change that lasts. That’s Oxfam in action.
Oxfam fights poverty in three ways: Campaigning, Development and Emergency Response.
Campaigning for change: Poverty isn’t just about lack of resources. In a wealthy world it’s about bad decisions made by powerful people. Oxfam campaigns hard, putting pressure on leaders for real lasting change.
Development work: Poor people can take control, solve their own problems, and rely on themselves – with the right support. Fighting poverty, we fund long-term work worldwide.
Emergency response: People need help in an emergency – fast. We save lives, swiftly delivering aid, support and protection; and we help people prepare for future crises.
Oxfam also has around 670 shops in the UK and an online shop selling over 100,000 volunteer-listed second-hand clothes, books, music and collectables, plus Fairtrade and eco gifts. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop
