The purpose of Oxfam is to help create lasting solutions to the injustice of poverty. We work directly with communities, and we seek to influence those in power to ensure that people living in poverty can improve their lives and livelihoods and have a say in decisions that affect them.
Oxfam is an international confederation of 17 organizations networked together in 94 countries, as part of a global movement for change, with a secretariat that provides coordination and leadership to assist the confederation to achieving its purpose.
