Working together to end poverty and injustice

Small-scale local schemes like ATprojects' toilets are transforming livelihoods across Papua New Guinea.

Improving livelihoods in Papua New Guinea

Oxfam concentrates on improving livelihoods in Papua New Guinea by working with partners to help people achieve the right to live free from poverty, in a secure and just society, with food security.

Oxfam in PNG assists people to diversify food crops, develop small animal husbandry and fish farming, and generate smallholder agro-forestry opportunities across some of the most remote areas of Papua New Guinea.

We are also helping people to re-build peace after years of civil strife and tribal conflict. Gender based violence is a ongoing problem that we continue to fight against. Another key area of our work is safe water and sanitation. With basic toilets, clean water and education we can help to eradicate water-borne diseases that afflict so many people in the country.
