Working together to end poverty and injustice

Monthly Giving

Young people in Vanuatu are getting a second chance at education.

You have a vital role to play in fighting poverty and ending hunger and Oxfam +me is the best way for you to take action:

• Against hunger and thirst in a world rich in resources.
• Against guns made small enough for the hands of child soldiers.
• Against diseases like diarrhoea needlessly taking precious lives.
• To save lives when emergencies strike.

Because of you, families will be able to grow more food and access clean, safe water. They’ll be able to send their children to school and they’ll live in safer communities.

Alvaro’s story

Training in more efficient and environmentally friendly farming techniques are improving returns and lives in East Timor.

Alvaro lives in Suai Town, East Timor with his wife Pascoela and their children. Alvaro and Pascoela used to work all year growing rice to earn just $156. It was nowhere near enough to care for their family. It barely covered food, so things like school or medical care weren’t even an option.

As a result of gifts to Oxfam, we were able to provide training for Alvaro in more efficient (and environmentally friendly) farming techniques. And since then, their harvest and family income have doubled! Enough for food, school fees, and to provide medical care for his family.
