What We Do

Long Term Development

At Oxfam, we believe that with the right support poor people can take control and solve their own problems. That’s why we fund the work of experienced local organisations in East, Central and Southern Africa. Because the best people to help the poorest communities are community members themselves.

We believe that, as well as providing much needed assistance on the ground overseas, we must fight on an international level to change the unfair systems that trap countries into poverty. And we have even bigger plans. We want you, your friends, your family to join us in making a difference to millions of peoples’ lives. The louder our voices the better we’re heard.
