Secure

Sometimes, people are unable to have faith in the future. Perhaps they haven't got a job, or enough money to buy tools and other things they need to make a living.

Poor people often have a clear idea of how to solve their problems, they just lack the means to put these into practice.

How does Oxfam help?

We give money, training and support to people until they can carry on by themselves.

Example – Malawi


At least a quarter of the world's population lives in severe poverty.
