| You are here: about us |
Oxfam New Zealand is dedicated to finding lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We are striving to achieve our vision of a safer, fairer world where all people can enjoy their basic human rights.
Oxfam works in partnership with poor communities across the world to help people identify and address the root causes of poverty.
Oxfam New Zealand’s work is made possible by a network of people committed to Oxfam’s vision, including supporters, volunteers, interns, staff, board and overseas partners.
Oxfam New Zealand’s Board helps set out the policy and strategic goals that guide our operations.
Most of Oxfam New Zealand's funds come from generous donations from New Zealanders, supplemented by New Zealand government funds for specific projects.
Our corporate partners also make a crucial contribution to our work.
Oxfam NZ supports communities in developing countries in the Pacific and East Asia to reduce their vulnerability to climate change. As an organisation Oxfam NZ is committed to minimising and continuously reducing the negative environmental impacts of our work activities.
Oxfam New Zealand was formed in 1991 and is a member of the Oxfam international confederation, working together as a worldwide force to overcome poverty and injustice. We believe that by working together globally we really can make a difference.
