Around the globe, we work to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. Together we save lives and rebuild communities when disaster strikes. We also speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality and discrimination against women. Oxfam Ireland is one of 20 Oxfam affiliates working as one in more than 90 countries. As part of the Oxfam confederation, Oxfam Ireland delivers specific programmes in Africa – in Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Last year we also responded to emergencies in Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Tanzania. Supported by people across the island of Ireland for more than six decades, we are an independent, secular and not-for-profit organisation. We have 50 shops across the island, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and more than 1,200 volunteers supporting our fight against poverty and inequality. OUR VISION A just world without poverty, where people can influence the decisions that affect their lives, enjoy their rights and assume their responsibilities as full citizens of a world in which every individual is valued and treated equally. OUR GOAL To work with others to help create a lasting solution to the injustice of poverty.
