A nonprofit organization with a global reach, Oxfam International works tirelessly to fight poverty worldwide, using a six-part strategy. The first step is to help people claim their basic human rights. The second focus is on empowering woman and girls, who are often underrepresented and oppressed. Third, Oxfam offers assistance during natural disasters and conflicts, supplying clean water, food, and sanitation. Fourth, the organization advocates for natural resources, which are vital for prosperity, by lobbying governments, corporations, and international organizations for important policies and climate change actions. Oxfam also looks to address worldwide hunger by systematically changing the food system. Finally, the organization seeks to improve access to basic services like health and education.
The organization relies on the contributions of both time and money from citizens around the world. There are many ways to get involved with the nonprofit, including campaigning, donating, volunteering, and advocating. Learn more by visiting www.oxfam.org.
