Be part of something bigger

Help take our movement a little further each month – and get a special tote bag to say thanks.

Why donate to Oxfam today?

  • We’ll be honest: in the past year, charities across the board have seen funding dry up as aid cuts and rising costs take a toll. But communities facing droughts, floods and wildfires know that giving up is not an option.
  • These crises don’t always make the headlines, but month after month, people are working to recover and rebuild stronger than before.
  • We need dedicated supporters to give a little every month, to help provide a steady stream of investment that makes this work possible.
  • If you set up a regular today, we’ll send you a very special tote bag – designed by Amelia, a long-term Oxfam volunteer – to say a big thank you and for you to display your support with pride.*

Why your donation matters so much right now

Communities facing droughts are responding to the crises of famine and failed crops. And, they’re also building climate resistant futures. ​

Local initiatives that start with one farm, one family, are growing into whole communities of change, helping build resilience, finding new ways to make money, new crops to grow, new ways to live. ​

No clean water

​In Somalia, thousands of internally displaced communities have sought sanctuary in Beledweyne town after fleeing droughts and floods. But in their new home, they face another challenge: access to clean water.

Without clean water, people face disease outbreaks like cholera, and everyday tasks like cooking and washing become near impossible. But, everything changed when they installed a pump – using funds from Oxfam.

How water pumps have helped

"Access to free, clean water has improved our lives,” says Raaliya Ibrahim Hassan, a participant in the project (pictured). ”Before this project, we used to buy water at 10 USD per Jerrican, which is expensive for the communities here, including the elderly and orphans".

The pump has also made life better for women and girls, who were previously relied on by other members of the community to walk long distances in search of water – putting them at increased risk of violence.

Planning for the future

The climate crisis is making floods and droughts increasingly common in the area, so people are likely to be forced to move again. Having resources ready to set up more pumps and provide financial support is vital – so communities can get back on their feet as soon as possible.

By setting up a regular gift today, you can help make sure there are resources ready to go the next time disaster strikes. Will you help today?

Urgent work like this can’t wait – that’s where you come in

Change like this can’t continue without regular support. Charities across the board are seeing people donate less, while international donors also scale back support. And frankly, we’re no different.

We’re calling on this community to help make sure there are always funds to fuel this vital work.

When enough people chip in a little every month, that steady stream of investment can turn into a wave of change.

* Please note, the tote bag gift is limited to UK residents/addresses only.
