How we work
| Working with local partners and communities, we're bringing clean water, hygiene and sanitation to Bougainville. |
Working in partnership
No one knows better what a community needs than the people who belong to it. That's why Oxfam partners with local groups; people who are already working hard to help themselves and are committed to building a better future for their communities.
We carefully select partners that share our vision and are well-placed to help us achieve our goals.
Our partners understand the local context and help us to connect with communities. The work we implement together encourages real participation of people living in poverty, increasing the sustainability and impact of our work.
Where we work
Currently, we're working with over 18 organisations across the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Campaigning for lasting change
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
We believe that when we work together, people have an amazing power to bring about change. We believe in motivating and supporting the New Zealand public to take action to end poverty and that everyone can play their part.
Our supporters make our work possible. Whether it’s through a donation to our work, buying an Oxfam Unwrapped gift, taking part in Oxfam Trailwalker or spending time volunteering at our office or events – the one constant is that together, we can make a difference.
Inclusive
Oxfam works with all people regardless of race, religion or political affiliation.
Our approach to key issues
Many of the key issues we work on require a specific approach, such as the right to gender justice, which is a key part of all our work across the world. Find out more about how we work on:
