About us

Oxfam is an international charity and global movement dedicated to tackling the root causes of poverty. 

Right now, inequality is trapping billions of people in poverty. It’s causing a record number of people to lose their livelihoods, struggle for essentials and face extreme hunger — all while a handful of people hold inconceivable wealth. 

It’s unfair, unjust and unacceptable. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

Together, we have the power to create an equal world without the inequalities that keep people in poverty.  

We do this by working alongside local partners and communities to deliver life-saving humanitarian relief, long-term anti-poverty projects and powerful campaigns for change.  

A world without poverty is possible. You can help us get there.
