We have been able to build the capacity of women domestic champions from the grassroots level whereby they are able now to stand on their own and claim their rights. When abuses are raised they are able to respond.”

I have been both humbled and inspired by the incredible supporters, volunteers, colleagues, and partners who make Oxfam the amazing global network it is. And I have seen how Oxfam brings a much needed touch of healing to a deeply troubled world, amplifying less-heard voices, speaking truth to power, building international solidarity and championing a radically better world.”

Omar's story

Omar is a pastoralist and was forced to move with his wife and eight children after most of their livestock perished due to drought. The community where he now lives donated a house for him and five of his children to live in, with a few belongings. His wife took their other children and remaining livestock in search of new pasture.

I’m still keeping faith and hoping that our fortunes will turn around for the better in the near future.”

In the Wajir County of Kenya, where Omar lives, drought is causing widespread food insecurity and severe hunger.

Climate change, conflict and soaring food prices means millions across the whole of East Africa are at risk of experiencing extreme hunger. With our partners, Oxfam distributed cash support to 5,118 drought-affected households in Kenya, including Wajir. It equated to about 50% of their expected expenditure, and enabled people to buy food and other vital items while retaining their dignity, autonomy and flexibility.

* Every year all Oxfam affiliates, including Oxfam GB, are required to complete a global report which details how many people each affiliate has reached.

This includes the number of people by country, region and global programme type.

We have highlighted the number of people reached directly by Oxfam GB where we are ‘executing affiliate’ within the wider Oxfam confederation.
