We believe that there is no excuse for poverty in the 21st century. Our world has enough food and resources for everyone. If these were shared out more fairly, there would be no need for much of the suffering we hear about today. Oxfam speaks up on behalf of poor people to governments and powerful organisations. We encourage people to speak up for themselves and change their lives for the better.

Oxfam has been at the forefront of Fair Trade in Ireland since 1986. Is your school fairtrade? Find out more about Fair Trade and read about the producers, eat fairtrade products from your tuck shop and get the teachers to drink fairtrade tea and coffee!
Each year, primary and secondary schools all over Ireland become involved in Oxjam by organising a music event in support of Oxfam. A gig, a music quiz, a trad session, a choir competition, no matter what you do… music is your voice, use it! Get in touch, and download your Oxjam toolkit!
