Mobilising the power of people against poverty.
We believe poverty is wrong, and that it is not an inevitable fact of life. We help people build better futures for themselves, hold the powerful accountable, and save lives in disasters. Our mission is to tackle the root causes of poverty and injustice and create lasting solutions.
Oxfam New Zealand’s work focuses on the Pacific countries of Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste, as well as Bangladesh in South Asia.
Oxfam has 75 years of experience. Last year we worked with 3,624 partner organisations in more than 90 countries. We know what it takes to end poverty and we are mobilising people and resources worldwide to make it happen. In 2017-2018 we spent $1.14 billion and reached more than 22.2 million people (more than half of them women) in our long-term development and humanitarian assistance programs.
Oxfam is a world-wide development organisation that mobilises the power of people against poverty. Oxfam New Zealand plays a vital role in this work. Together with our local partners, we work in more than 90 countries as part of the Oxfam International confederation, to tackle the root causes of poverty and respond to emergencies. We work with some the world’s most vulnerable communities to provide people with the tools, education, experience, and knowledge to help them work their way out of poverty. When disaster strikes, we move quickly to provide life-saving assistance to people in need. Your contributions make all the difference. Do you want to change your world? Join our call to world leaders, governments, and businesses to play their part in tackling poverty and building a safer, fairer world for everyone.What we do
