Right now, people who share your belief in a fairer world are resetting the balance. Ending dangerous discrimination against women and girls. Delivering relief in unimaginable suffering of warzones and disasters. Finding new sustainable ways to live in the climate crisis. Holding corporations and countries to account for the damage they continue to cause.
People like Tasman and Duaa.
Palestinian and Israeli civilians have faced horrific violence, and people like Duaa Abu Sabha continue to suffer the terrifying daily consequences for the failure of leaders to resolve this devastating conflict. It’s easy to feel powerless to act, but you’re not.
Despite huge obstacles, help can and is reaching people. Thanks to their sheer bravery and dedication, local partners and humanitarian experts who are themselves caught up in the crisis, are getting clean drinking water to 25,600 people.
The Oxfam bathrooms have relieved a lot of [worry]. They are clean and also much closer to us. When I want to go to the bathroom at night, I don’t feel afraid anymore. Duaa

Tasman is 63 years of age. He lives on the island of Flores and has been a spear fisherman all his working life. His people, the Bajo, an indigenous Indonesian group, have lived in harmony with the ocean for centuries. But as the climate changes and sea-levels rise, they’ve been forced to change their way of life.
With support from an amazing local Oxfam partner YPPS, Tasman’s community are finding new ways forward, adapting and diversifying their livelihoods away from the ocean and towards the soil.
Our love and closeness to the sea will always live on but we need to find new ways to live. Now we plant so we can harvest and eat. The farm is now what our lives depend on. Marlina, Tasman’s neighbor
