Oxfam is working towards a world where everyone has enough to eat and where women especially have the opportunity to earn a decent living.

Life is tough for millions of poor food producers, but the current economic crisis is hitting them particularly hard. And it's women that are worst affected. Many women work the land or are employed in informal, casual work, so when things go wrong, they're the first to lose their jobs and go without when household budgets shrink.

Lasting solutions to poverty

Oxfam believes in giving a 'hand up' out of poverty rather than just a 'hand out'. This video tells the story of farmer Leyla, her community and how with Oxfam's help they built an irrigations system for their crops and now harvests make enough money to put food on the table, build homes and send their children to school.
