Fiji
Oxfam supports communities in Fiji to overcome poverty and inequality.
Fiji faces rising sea levels, stronger cyclones, and economic disruption from climate shocks. For communities already navigating inequality, the risks are increasing, but so is the local response.
Oxfam works in partnership with Fijian organisations to strengthen disaster preparedness, support women’s leadership, and drive locally led climate adaptation. When you donate to Fiji, you help build safer, more just futures in the Pacific.
Why your support matters in Fiji
Fiji is on the frontline of the climate crisis. Rising seas and extreme weather are threatening homes, water supplies, and livelihoods — especially in rural and coastal areas.
Many communities face high rates of poverty and limited access to essential services, particularly after disasters. Climate shocks continue to disrupt infrastructure, education, healthcare and local food systems.
Despite this, Fijian communities are leading powerful local responses. Women’s networks and grassroots organisations are building resilience, advocating for climate justice, and supporting each other in times of crisis. With the right resources and partnerships, these local leaders can drive long-term solutions. That’s where your support comes in.
How Oxfam is working in Fiji
Oxfam works in partnership with local organisations in Fiji to help communities prepare for climate disasters, strengthen their resilience, and advocate for more equal systems. Our focus is on long-term solutions that put people in charge of their futures.
Preparing for disasters
Through the AHP Disaster READY program, supported by the Australian Government, we’re helping build disaster preparedness across Fiji. In collaboration with the Women in Fisheries Network – Fiji, we support women-led climate adaptation efforts that improve food security, protect marine resources and boost local leadership.
Amplifying the Pacific voice
Oxfam is part of a broader regional effort to ensure Pacific voices shape global climate decisions that impact them so strongly.
Through the PACCCIL project (Pacific Climate Change Collaboration, Influence and Learning), we work alongside regional partners to amplify community perspectives in global climate negotiations by supporting advocacy that reflects the real experiences and priorities of people in the Pacific.
Our work is guided by our values of justice, equality, inclusion and partnership. It’s collaboration, not charity. And it’s helping build a future where all Fijians can not only survive the climate crisis, but shape the response.
Key focus areas
Climate Justice
We partner with local communities to amplify Pacific priorities in global forums.
Gender Justice
Supporting women’s leadership in climate response and recovery is powerful.
