UPDATES ON HOW, TOGETHER, WE’RE BUILDING A FAIRER, SAFER, MORE EQUAL WORLD
Thank you For Helping to Tackle Inequality Everyday
I’m delighted to report that your generosity has helped to fund an enormous number of inspiring projects over the last year... so many that it’s impossible to mention them all here.
With every single donation you make, you’re joining forces with a like-minded community of people tackling both the causes and the consequences of inequality, poverty and injustice. It’s a very powerful alliance – and it’s the only way to build the safer, fairer, more equal world that we all want to live in.
Your support is making a very profound and real difference – now and for the future too.

Tonga’s WASH Club
Tonga’s low-lying outer islands are extremely vulnerable to rising ocean levels and strong cyclones. But the people of Tonga are fighting back.
Oxfam partner, Tonga National Youth Congress, teach water conservation to children in Ha’apai primary school. The school also shares its eight water tanks with the local community during droughts and emergencies.
This is a true grassroots initiative, tackling the consequences of climate injustice head on.
Lean Season in Burkina Faso
Amado Sawadogo and his family in Burkina Faso, are facing severe hunger as a result of conflict and the climate crisis.
Since May 2024, your support has helped to deliver food to over 36,600 people – and we aim to help 62,000 more in the months ahead. Thank you.
“It’s the lean season and we have no food. But when we arrived here...they gave us millet, oil and salt. We’re happy. Our families are happy. I’m going home full of joy." Amodo

Earthquake Emergency Response in Myanmar
A powerful earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28th, 2025. Thousands of traumatise people were displaced and left in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
“It felt like the world was collapsing. Almost all the buildings had fallen down. There was nowhere to take cover.” Aung Thin Cho.
Thanks to you, Oxfam could act immediately. We delivered life-saving clean water, blankets and cash assistance to communities when they needed it most.

The Benefits of Regular Giving: A Supporter’s Perspective
Like you, Thomas O’Brien from North Dublin, is actively working towards a fairer future. Thomas set up a regular monthly donation to Oxfam Ireland. “I know that any money sent out to you will be used appropriately. I would encourage others to donate monthly. Even if it is a small amount, if it is regular, it can make a difference.”
Thomas knows, regular monthly gifts are one of the best ways to support us.
Never Stop Fighting for Fairness with Legacy Giving
By leaving a gift to us in your Will, you ’ll never have to stop fighting for fairness.
After providing for your loved ones, you and your values can live on by helping future generations to live free from injustice, inequality and poverty.
“Legacy gifts enable Oxfam to do more. There is an endless need for aid and compassion in a world often governed by greed and cruelty.” – Severin Kennedy, Oxfam supporter
Have you ever thought of turning a hobby – or an adventure – into vital funds for Oxfam Ireland?
Rich and Johan did just that, they circumnavigated the island of Ireland... in a canoe!
The challenge was both mentally and physically tough - but they managed to achieve their main goal (apart from raising critical funds) of remaining friends through the good times and the bad.
