Oxfam and The One Foundation

Since 2011, The One Foundation has stood alongside Oxfam in helping communities access clean, safe water and sanitation.

Our partnership with The One Foundation

Over the course of our partnership, which is celebrating its fifteenth year in 2026, The One Foundation has contributed more than £4.4 million towards Oxfam's water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) work. Recently, The One Foundation has supported our humanitarian response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.

Founded over 20 years ago, The One Foundation is dedicated to improving access to water and sanitation globally, making this partnership a natural fit built on shared values and a shared commitment to lasting impact.

In humanitarian crises, access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is essential to protecting people’s health, dignity and wellbeing.”

The funding from The One Foundation has been especially vital in our work in South Sudan, where we are supporting over half a million people with water and sanitation services.

"[Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene] is one of the first things communities need, helping to prevent the spread of disease and supporting people at a time when they are most vulnerable. Our long-standing partnership with Oxfam means we can enable business stakeholders to support rapid responses when crises arise, providing funding that enables vital WASH support to reach people when they need it most," says The One Foundation.
