What we do
 |
| Oxfam supports the world's poorest communities, helping people achieve long-term access to clean water, food, shelter, sanitation, healthcare and education. |
Oxfam works to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We help the world’s poorest communities access the essentials of life - because everyone has the right to safe water, food, shelter and sanitation, a sustainable family income, education and healthcare, and a life free from violence.
We don’t simply offer handouts, but support ongoing programmes and projects that help families and communities lift themselves out of poverty.
Oxfam New Zealand works in partnership with local communities in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, supporting long-term development and campaigning for economic and political change so we can address the unjust systems that maintain poverty.
We put all our energy and expertise into saving lives, developing programmes that empower people, and campaigning for lasting change.
