ABOUT OXFAM
Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of
poverty. Together we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We help people
build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that
keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women and
climate change. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can
live without poverty.
OUR VALUES
All our work is led by three core values:
Empowerment. Everyone, from our staff and supporters to people living in
poverty, should feel they can make change happen.
Accountability. We take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves
accountable. We believe that others should also be held accountable for
their actions.
Inclusiveness. We are open to everyone and embrace diversity. We believe
everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible
differences.
