About us
Who we are
Oxfam is a global community of people who believe in a kinder, and radically better world, where everyone has the power to thrive not just survive. We believe we can overcome poverty by fighting the injustices and inequalities that fuel it.
Oxfam's supporters make our vital work with some of the world's poorest communities possible. We can’t do it without you.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to:
- Respond quickly to emergencies around the world.
- Help people to work themselves out of poverty.
- Campaign to change the things that keep people poor.

Oxfam is really a community for me.”
