Transforming Lives, Empowering Communities
Oxfam is a worldwide federation that implements its activities based on the idea of a better and much happier world, where everyone would have a fair chance in life to not only live but also to flourish. As a result, they are fully engaged in the fight against poverty and strive to achieve change at the core of social injustice that condemns people to poverty. As such, they ensure that they bring about positive change in the lives of people who require it most.
Oxfams work is divided geographically and community where they engage local actors to implement viable strategies. They work in the areas of emergency response, development programs, and policy change. In this way, Oxfam helps people to fight poverty and change their lives for the better, thus, it is an organization that makes a significant difference in people’s lives.
Oxfam believes in the effectiveness of people’s unity as it is the central idea of its work. They mobilize people, groups and authorities to change the world and advocate for policies that would benefit the society. By their advocacy and advocacy campaigns, Oxfam speaks for the poor and vulnerable to ensure that they are represented at the international level. In doing so they remain on the right path towards the attainment of the ultimate goal of attaining a poverty and inequality free society.
United for a Poverty-Free World
Oxfam is a dynamic global movement, bringing together millions of people dedicated to one common goal: eradicating poverty. They are motivated by the notion that poverty is not a natural occurrence and can be eliminated through efforts of society. Through its work Oxfam challenges poverty by addressing the root causes that lock people and communities into poverty.
In practice, Oxfam participates in a broad spectrum of activities that may include delivering food and water to the affected population in a disaster-struck country and promoting the development of better policies for such countries. They directly engage with the local stakeholders to put into practice the concept of sustainable development, whereby the communities are empowered with resources and information that would enable them to fashion out a better tomorrow. Whether it is in disaster responses, education or economic upliftment, Oxfam is leading the way in making a positive difference.
Fighting Inequality, Ending Poverty
Oxfam works towards a world where people can live a decent life and it promotes for equality. With inequality increasing all over the world, leading to poverty, Oxfam contests the notion that resources are limited and the idea that it is ‘us’ against ‘them. ‘ Instead, Oxfam seeks to build a world where wealth and opportunities are distributed more fairly. Oxfam appreciates that poverty is not only the absence of money but also the result of decisions made by governments and other powerful actors that work to their advantage while neglecting the poor.
In order to address poverty and inequality at source, Oxfam works with local actors who are closely connected to the communities in question. These partnerships are very essential in identifying the specific issues that each of the communities has and in establishing the best solutions that can be implemented. Oxfam and its partners seek to change the structures that keep people poor, vulnerable and excluded so that they can build better lives for themselves. They are based on learning, partnership and the determination to tackle poverty and injustice right at the root.
Oxfam is also committed to the cause of a safe and secure future for people particularly those in hostile environments. Poverty increases the number of people at risk of violent conflict and climate change effects and millions of these people have no government assistance. Oxfam understands this and is keen to put an end to this by calling for a world where none is exposed to calamities more than the other. They want to see the world where people are not killed or forced to flee their homes and where all can prepare for disasters in the same way.
Championing Economic Justice for Women
Female workers across the globe get trapped in low wage or no wage employment mainly because of the cultural perceptions regarding their roles and capacities. Most of the jobs that women engage in including those in the informal sector like cleaning services, selling products at the markets or even child care at home are not valued and are invisible. Regrettably, this work is often overlooked as being of utmost significance to societies and economies hence resulting to economic frameworks that are oppressive and exploitative.
Oxfam is committed to changing these injustices with the help of activists and organisations all over the world, including the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Kenya and the UK. This is through programs like the Women’s Rights Fund where Oxfam helps partners to put into practice effective and relevant strategies. These are the following: writing reports that shed light on the oppression of women and changing the government policies as well as promoting the cause of a more equitable economic system that recognizes the worth of all work.
The effectiveness of Oxfam’s work can be seen from the following testimonials of the affected individuals. As Katy, a carer from the UK, shares: The following is one of the success stories of Oxfam: “As an unpaid carer, I felt that my caring story was invisible Oxfam has helped me and many other carers’ voices to be heard and be respected by decision makers. ”
Transforming Lives Through Your Generosity
Your donations have touched the lives of people who are struggling in the worst circumstances of their lives. For instance, there is a lady called Nahla, from Yemen. Due to the effects of war, she had to drop out of school in order to fend for her family.
Through the Tamdeen Youth Foundation, Nahla has been trained on mobile phone repair and this has helped her to get other employment opportunities. She has been able to find a job and has a certificate as a mobile technician and is still improving on her skills. Nahla’s story also shows how important support can be as she encourages others in her situation to stay positive and wait for the chance of change because it can come from the worst situations.
Another person who will benefit a lot from your donations is George who works with the Vanuatu Society for People with Disabilities (VSPD). For the same reason, George is disabled himself and he knows how much cash transfers and support from VSPD can help. Such contributions have helped VSPD to expand their services and ensure that as many persons within the disability community as possible are assisted. The examples of George’s work show how one can improve the lives of people who are in need of help and are often left without attention.
These are the real-life success stories of Nahla and George that are the testimony of the positive transformations that your donations bring.
