Oxfam is a global movement of people working towards a world without poverty. And we won't rest until we get the job done.

Oxfam Great Britain is a member of Oxfam International, a confederation of 17 independent national organisations working in more than 90 countries.

We respond fast in emergencies, and stay to help people rebuild their lives. We work on long-term projects with communities determined to shape a better future for themselves. And we campaign for genuine, lasting change.

Here's a snapshot of what makes us tick, and how we work - plus links to explore further.

We believe in people

It ll starts with one simple fact: all human lives are of equal value and full of potential. Experience tells us with the right support and training, people can work their own way out of poverty.

We work better together

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Oxfam partners with organisations who have unique local expertise, connections and experience. Doing so not only saves us time and money, but also helps.

We're experienced

We've been hard at work for 70 years and we work in more than 90 countries*. But we're still always willing to learn and keep looking for new ways to make an even bigger difference. Our history speaks for itself.

We're experts

We're a world expert in providing water and sanitation, and emergency response. In 2010/11 alone, generous public donations helped us reach 6.5 million people affected by conflict and disasters. We know a thing or two about long-term development and tackling the causes of poverty too!

We're open and transparent

We're humbled by the amazing trust our supporters put in us - but we don't take it for granted. We know it matters to you that we're completely upfront about what we do and how we do it. It matters to us too. Because only by spending every single penny wisely can we be sure that we're changing the biggest number of lives. ...عرض أقل
