So you’ve seen the shops, and you've picked up some great clothes, but have you ever wondered if there's anything more to Oxfam?

Maybe you’ve seen our TV ads or know that we’re an international aid agency, but did you know that we work to end poverty on loads of levels, and have made significant progress by campaigning and lobbying for change?

We attack poverty on 3 levels:

SHORT TERM

MEDIUM TERM
Development work to help poor people to help themselves.

LONG TERM
