Fundraising is an important part of Oxfam's Biggest Coffee Break and Oxfam's Biggest Chocolate Break .
By taking part, you and your guests will raise vital funds towards Oxfam's work helping people lift themselves out of poverty. Every dollar you raise counts towards helping build a fairer, safer and more sustainable world.

By raising $50, you can help pay four people for three days’ work picking coffee cherries. In East Timor, one of the poorest countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the money these workers earn can pay for food for their families and their children’s schooling. |
 |
By raising $100, you can help farmers in East Timor cultivate 20 shade-grown coffee plants, as well as helping them receive the right tools and training to cultivate their trees. |
 |
Farmers in Papua New Guinea use their fingers to peel off the hard skin of the coffee beans. By raising $200, you can help to buy a peeling machine, to save them having to do all that work by hand. There's also less waste packaged with the coffee beans, increasing the weight of the harvest. |
 |
By raising $320, you can provide a coconut press for farmers in Samoa—to ease the physical burden of the work and improve the quality of the final product, coconut oil. |
 |
By raising $700 you can help a farmer in East Timor take the valuable step of bringing their coffee to the warehouse and all the way to market. |
Oxfam's Biggest Coffee Break is part of Fair Trade Fortnight 2012. Sign up online or call 0800 400 666.
