Keep Funding Climate Action in the Pacific

Right now, our politicians are deciding whether New Zealand will keep funding climate action in the Pacific. Oxfam Aotearoa is asking our government to keep up the good work. Will you add your voice?

Make Rich Polluters Pay

Climate change affects us all, but not equally. People living in low-income countries and communities are hit hardest by extreme climate disasters. They also have fewer means to recover, deepening inequality and poverty. Meanwhile, big fossil fuel corporations continue to pollute our climate without restraint. They make bumper profits, pay little tax and use their influence to rig the system in their favour.

What She Makes

Women make up 80% of the garment industry and 9 out of 10 do not earn enough even to afford decent meals. A living wage is not a luxury but is a minimum all working people should be paid to escape poverty.

Better Taxes for a Better Future

The power to make our tax system better lies with our decision makers – but as voters, we have the power to influence them!

Why we campaign

If we use our collective power, we can make real the vision of a world without poverty, and shift the window of what’s politically possible.

How We Have Created Change Together

Work at Oxfam

At Oxfam, our volunteers, interns and staff work together to support communities in their efforts to overcome poverty and injustice. We campaign to improve the lives of people around the world.

Opportunities include jobs as well as internships and registrations for the Pacific Humanitarian Register. (This is a pool of experienced humanitarian personnel available to support Oxfam’s Country Offices during emergencies).

Check for current vacancies here. Another great option is volunteering, or adding your support to an Oxfam campaign or event.

Volunteer with Oxfam

Your time, skills, energy and experience can do a world of good.

As a volunteer, your time, energy and experience can help Oxfam to achieve our goals.

Volunteering at Oxfam is a unique opportunity to gain and share skills in a range of areas. The majority of our volunteers are based at our Auckland office supporting Oxfam with a variety of tasks. Read one Oxfam volunteer’s story here.
