Access to water in emergencies
Since the 2021 Tigray and Amhara conflict, 1.8 million Ethiopians remain displaced due to conflict and drought.
Despite a ceasefire, millions, particularly women and children, remain in need of shelter, food, and water. Oxfam is working in partnership with communities to address these critical needs.
Education for a better future
In Uganda, children like Peace are joining the ‘From Mines to School’ project to leave dangerous work in the gold mines and return to education.
Through accelerated learning, she’s catching up on missed years of school, rebuilding her confidence, and working toward her dream of becoming a nurse, helping her family and community thrive despite the challenges she once faced.
Building peace and rebuilding after conflict
The Wefaq Association for Women and Child Care in Rafah is addressing critical hygiene needs by installing bathrooms in Gaza.
Buthaina Sobh, the Executive Director of Wefaq, is on the front lines of providing essential support during one of Gaza’s most challenging conflicts.
Despite the ongoing war, Buthaina and her association continue to offer safe spaces, psychological support, and direct aid, ensuring displaced women and children receive the care they need during these difficult times.
Essential aid when disasters strike
Oxfam and partners are working with communities in Malawi to rehabilitate water sources, support women and girls in knowing their rights, and provide disaster management support.
Ligineti Nayinayi, a survivor of Cyclone Freddy in Malawi, lost everything when her house collapsed after days of relentless rain. Cash assistance, essential supplies, and immediate support enabled her to navigate this crisis.
Clean water for all
Oxfam partner Merti Integrated Development Program (MID-P) restored a local borehole in Kenya and piped water back to the community's watering point, providing safe, clean water nearby.
Abdia Ibrahim, a participant in the water project in Kenya, has faced challenges due to severe drought. Once the owner of 400 goats and several cattle, she lost her livestock to severe droughts.
Through the water point established, families in her community were able to access safe and clean water.
