Build hope in Tanzania
For people like Godeberite living in overcrowded refugee camps in Tanzania, life is hard and filled with uncertainty. Food shortages, malnutrition, dirty water and no way to earn a living. How would you cope?
Thanks to you, we have worked with local partners in Tanzania to provide families with clean, safe water. But to break the cycle of poverty and hunger, we need sustainable, long-term solutions. By donating today, you can create pathways for people like Godeberite to earn a living, and work their own way out of poverty.

“The money I make here as a tailor is what I use to buy extra food. People survive in different ways; it would have been very difficult for me if I had not had this job.”

“I like being a beekeeper so much. I used to be a beekeeper in Congo. People like to keep the bees safe. In Congo, a lot of people like to cut down trees — so I also thought it would be a good way to protect the trees. I’m a conservationist.”
— Subi*, member of an Oxfam-supported beekeeping group.
