How does Oxfam Australia work?
Oxfam Australia is committed to always including the voices of the people living directly in the communities we support. This is because it’s the people most impacted by poverty, inequality and injustice that are best placed to find the solutions to overcome these challenges. Oxfam’s role is to link supporters like you with the work on the ground by supplying funds and resources, sharing knowledge of how best to achieve local and systemic change, and increasing local capacities. We work with allies and supporters to challenge powerful decision-makers to transform the systems and practices that perpetuate inequality. Our advocacy work both in Australia and overseas always seeks amplify the voices of people experiencing the injustice of poverty.
Oxfam Australia strives to:
– Save lives before, during and after humanitarian crises, where every donation helps us provide immediate and effective responses.
– Work locally with communities to foster development and influence policies aimed at reducing poverty. Your donations mean we can support these communities more robustly.
– Influence governments, institutions, and businesses to adopt fair laws and practices that lift people out of poverty. Donations are crucial in amplifying our voice and impact.
Our ability to do all this vital work relies heavily on the generosity of the public, and each donation contributes to the success of our campaigns.
Your donations are the backbone of our operations, supporting our efforts at all levels and ensuring that we can continue to make a significant difference in the lives of millions of people every day. Thank you.
