At any given time, we are responding to over 30 emergency situations. We provide life-saving essentials in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster and to people affected by conflict, as well as long-term development support. You can help.
We work in more than 90 countries, with programs in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, across Asia and in parts of Eastern Europe.
We help people caught up in natural disasters and conflicts across the world with clean water, food, sanitation and protection. At any given time, we are responding to over 30 emergency situations, giving life-saving support to those most in need.
Millions of people are being forced from their homes, risking everything to escape conflict, disaster, poverty or hunger. From those fleeing the war in Syria or climate change-induced droughts, to those stranded in inadequate conditions in Europe, you can help us give life-saving support to refugees in the countries where they need it most.
The crisis in Syria continues to cause tremendous human suffering to people both inside and outside the country. The conflict is driving the largest refugee crisis in the world. Nearly 12 million people – 2 in 3 Syrians – are still dependent on humanitarian aid. They need your help.

Discrimination against women and girls is both a cause and a consequence of poverty. Without collective action and broader social movements that endeavor to achieve equal rights, development and humanitarian goals will be unachievable. For Oxfam, this means ensuring that gender justice objectives are included in each of our strategic ‘Change Goals’.
Oxfam builds the capacity of women and men, boys and girls, to achieve the change that they want to see in the world. This involves challenging attitudes and beliefs at many different levels, especially in areas of ending violence against women and girls, and women’s economic empowerment and leadership. Here’s a snapshot of inspiring stories that show how Oxfam, together with partners and allies, is sharing and replicating initiatives that put gender justice at the heart of development and civil society.
