In all our actions Oxfam’s goal is to enable people to exercise their rights and manage their own lives. From long term program work and short term emergency relief to immediate campaign action, Oxfam believes in empowering people. Oxfam strives to work with local partners and takes a rights based approach to our development work. On advocacy and campaigning for changes at the global and national level, the Oxfams link their work to practical changes at grassroots level. We are part of a global citizens movement campaigning on such issues as trade, arms and education.

With over 40 million people living with HIV world-wide, HIV/AIDS is now the worst pandemic ever experienced in human history. Unlike other diseases, because of the socio-economic factors, HIV/AIDS is hitting the productive sectors of society the hardest. The loss of life among those who work in sectors like rural agriculture, education or healthcare is staggering.
