About us

East Africa Food Crisis - outside the grain store at Ngaresero
We believe we can end poverty and injustice, as part of a global movement for change.

Oxfam International is a confederation of 14 like-minded organizations working together and with partners and allies around the world to bring about lasting change.

We work directly with communities and we seek to influence the powerful to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods and have a say in decisions that affect them.
