About Oxfam
Oxfam Ireland is one of 20 independent affiliates working as one in more than 90 countries. We are an independent, secular and not-for-profit organisation.
We share a common vision, common philosophies, and, to a large extent, common working practices. We are united by our common values and identity and share the same passion and commitment. We have joined forces as an international confederation because we believe we will achieve greater impact by working together in collaboration with others, and as an interdependent and truly global network of organisations.
Oxfam Ireland has been supported by people across the island of Ireland for over 60 years.
We have shops across the island of Ireland, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and 1,200 volunteers who are delivering real change to the lives of people affected by 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.
Last year, Oxfam Ireland reached over 8 million people; affecting positive change in their lives and contributed to Oxfam International’s work that reached over 19.5 million people.
Our teams in Dublin and Belfast collaborate to ensure our all-island approach is successful.
Dublin is a global, entrepreneurial city with a bright future. Ireland’s GDP growth in 2018 was a remarkable 6.7%, the fastest in Europe and in 2019 the country had the EU’s second-fastest growing economy.
Oxfam Ireland is located in Dublin’s historic docklands, home to the city’s thriving financial and tech industries. Dublin continues to do well in rankings of culture and competitiveness. Global companies continue to base their European HQs in Dublin and the local start-up scene is buzzing.
