Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to beat poverty for good. 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, climate change and discrimination against women. Oxfam Ireland is one of 20 independent affiliates working as one in more than 90 countries.

OUR VISION IS A JUST WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY

At Oxfam Ireland, we work with people affected by poverty and injustice, supporting their empowerment to exercise their human rights and take control of their lives. Supported by people across the island of Ireland for over 60 years, we are an independent, secular and not-for-profit organisation.

From our volunteers in Dublin and shops in Down to our programme teams and our partners all over the world, we work together with resilient people to achieve our vision of a just world without poverty.

People like the child who wants to go to school; the mother who needs healthcare for her baby; the farmer who sees climate change wipe out his crops and livestock; the women whose voices need to be heard in the decision-making process; the young people whose lives could be transformed with business training, the family that has lost everything in a natural disaster.

We respond to humanitarian emergencies around the world – wherever they happen. We help people to help themselves and build a brighter future through our long-term projects. We campaign nationally and internationally on issues ranging from the arms trade to women’s rights, inequality and climate change.

Everyone has a right to realise their potential, and to live free of poverty in a secure and more equitable world.
