What Oxfam does

Oxfam is a movement of people from around the world who won’t live with poverty. We have two key aims:

Responding to emergencies happening in the world now, giving vital support to people facing poverty due to conflict, climate change and natural disasters.

Empowering communities to challenge and change systems that promote inequality, so together we can beat poverty for good.

Oxfam shops have been fundraising to support Oxfam’s work since 1947, raising millions every year to support people facing poverty.

Let’s beat poverty together.
