The last time I came to Dadaab was in July 2011. Famine had just been declared in Somalia and refugees were pouring into the camp at a rate of 1,500 people per day. People had walked for upwards of 30 days to reach the safety of Dadaab and were weak, malnourished and traumatised from the journey. It was not uncommon to meet mothers who had to make the difficult decision about which child to leave behind, or in many cases, who had to bury...

What a showdown! Oxfam was torn throughout this year's Wimbledon final - we wanted a win for Britain, but we also had a sizeable vested interest in Federer taking home the trophy. Why? Oxfam supporter Nicholas Newlife left his entire estate to Oxfam when he died in February 2009. This included the outcomes of a series of outstanding bets he had placed. One of his bets was on Federer winning Wimbledon seven times...

With Oxfam's UK Poverty Program warning of a 'perfect storm' of welfare cuts and spiralling living costs and Oxfam campaigners taking to the streets to explain why one in seven people worldwide are going hungry, we desperately need some food solutions. I asked Rosa Fletcher from the UK charity FoodCycle how they are tackling the broken food system right on our doorstep. ...

"I've been fetching water from a nearby shallow well, by using leaky plastic packets," Medina, a displaced mother of two, explained. "I used to lose more than half of the water in the packet en route to coming back home." Medina and her family currently live in a camp for displaced people in Mogadishu's Boondheere District. This squalid camp is on land that was formerly Somalia's Interior Ministry....

One year since the launch of Oxfam's appeal for the food crisis in East Africa, Polycarp Otieno returns to Wajir in north eastern Kenya, to see how Oxfam's response is helping communities to recover. At 7pm, as night sets in, primary school children across Kenya are already at home, resting and spending time with their family. But in the village of Shidley, in Wajir, the school day is just beginning. Most of the 60 pupils...

The worst food crisis in the 21st century It is a year now since the world woke up to what has been called the worst food crisis in the 21st century. The footage of Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya was truly awful, and the conditions people were living in when they arrived at Dollo Ado camp in Ethiopia were quite shocking. The UN categorised parts of Somalia as being in famine - a term used so rarely now that we had started to think it no...

It's good to have a choice. Whether it's between tea or coffee, chocolate or fruit and condoms or the Pill. In fact when it comes to planning a family it's not just good that we have a choice; here in the UK it's something we now take for granted.  We can sit down and talk to our local GP or nurse about what works for us, our lifestyle and our relationships.  The choice to decide what's right for our body...
