Working together to end poverty and injustice

How we work

Partnership

Oxfam works in partnership with poor communities across the world to help people identify and address the root causes of poverty.

Linking local and global

Oxfam believes poverty and injustice are global problems that need a global solution. Our advocacy and campaigning work builds on our grassroots experience to challenge the local, national and international structures that reinforce poverty.

Building a Movement for Change

Inclusive

Oxfam works with all people regardless of race, religion or political affiliation.
