Business partnerships

You and Oxfam, tackling poverty together.

Oxfam works to empower the lives of poor and vulnerable people around the world. To be the most effective, we work in partnership with local organisations to make a lasting difference to peoples lives.

But we need partners here in Australia to support our work and help fight poverty and inequality. Oxfam works with business in a broad range of ways and aims to establish holistic relationships that deliver strategic value to its partners and their customers.

One example of how Oxfam works in the field is to help people living in poverty find a fair and sustainable income. In Bangladesh Oxfam supports crab rearing as an alternative earning source. Oxfam and partner NGOs work with more than 300 women in crab rearing by providing training and establishing market links between producers and crab exporters.

Businesses that partner with Oxfam get the opportunity to profoundly touch peoples lives and to communicate the values that drive them.

Three key areas:

Long Term Development — Poor people can take control, solve their own problems, and rely on themselves – if they receive the right support. We fund long-term projects around the world and work in a range of areas, from water and sanitation to education and health, to bring about positive change in people’s lives.
Responding to emergencies — People need help in an emergency – fast. We save lives by swiftly delivering aid, support and protection; and we help people prepare for future crises. Right now, we’re responding to these emergencies around the world. All of our work has one goal – to bring about positive change in the lives of people living in poverty.
Campaigning for Change — Poverty has many complex causes, which means that there is no single, quick, or easy solution. Long-term change of the necessary scale requires more than just supporting people on the ground — it also requires political change, which is why our work must increase the power and self-determination of poor and disadvantaged people.
