It's amazing how much can be achieved with just a small amount of money from people like you and a little help from Oxfam. Donations provide urgently needed funds for our work in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific and our emergency response work.

“We need a fairer future”

It’s not fair that farmers producing world class coffee earn less than $1 a day. This is reality for Luciano and his family, and many others in East Timor.

It’s not fair that farmers producing world class coffee earn less than $1 a day.

This is reality for Luciano and his family, and many others in East Timor.

One out of every three people in East Timor is hungry. That’s not fair.

Our neighbours in East Timor don’t have enough to eat. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), their hunger is as extreme as Liberia, Rwanda and North Korea.

Luciano Da Costa (right) is anxious about providing for the future of his son, Nicolau. He is a hard worker but there are obstacles in the way of creating a better future which he cannot overcome alone.

Help him create a fairer future for his family.

 

West Africa food crisis

In Chad, the drought has decimated Aissata Abdoul Diop's harvest, leaving more withered maize than food.

Millions of people in West Africa face a severe food crisis.

Erratic rains, poor harvests, lack of pasture and increased food prices could see millions go hungry if we don’t act now. One million children are at risk of acute malnutrition.

West Africa last experienced a major food crisis in 2010, in which ten million people were affected. They've barely recovered and they are vulnerable. Once again they face serious food shortages and insecurity. People are so hungry that they have been forced to dig up anthills to recover grains that ants have stored.

Just $30 can help prepare people in West Africa for the coming crisis.

Early warning systems show that families in Niger, Chad, Mauritania, Mali and Burkina Faso need your help. The crisis is escalating.

Waiting is not an option. We must act now.

Safe water for life

Gande Bebi
You can save lives like Gande’s by helping villages in Papua New Guinea access safe and clean water.

Save lives like Gande’s today.

It’s a dilemma no mother should have to face: risk her children’s health using dirty water or have no water at all. Gande’s mother, Bebi Samuel, faces this dilemma on a daily basis.

Gande and her family get less than one per cent of the water the average New Zealander uses daily. The water Bebi collects is dirty and causes illness in her family.

Because water is in such short supply, there isn’t always enough for washing and cleaning. Clothes, bedding and food rarely get washed – worsening the family’s health.

Horn of Africa famine 2011

Children like Kuranga Akai receive the same amount of food as adults.
Five year old Kuranga Akai from Turkana, Kenya holds a day's worth of food in his hands. His family receives the equivalent of 345g of maize per person per day – or a handful.

Large parts of Africa are suffering the worst food crisis of the 21st century with famine declared in Somalia.

Oxfam urgently need funds to help reach people with life-saving food and water. We are seriously concerned that large numbers of lives could soon be lost.

Oxfam New Zealand has launched an appeal to provide assistance to the 12 million people across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya who face starvation.

Your contribution will make a huge difference in saving lives.
