Oxfam International

Oxfam International was formed in the year 1995 by the independent group of non-

governmental organisations (Hajnal, 2018). The main aim was to reduce poverty as well as the

injustice by working together for the greater international stage impact. As the name suggests,

“Oxfam” is derived from the committee of oxford for the famine and relief, which was founded

in 1942 in Britain (Hajnal, 2018). During the Second World War, the group actively participated

for the campaign aimed for the supply of food which were to be sent to the children and women

who were starving in enemy-occupied Greece. Oxfam International being a nonprofit making

organization provides services that entails food security as well as the alleviation of the poverty

and injustices.

The Oxfam International is known for the implementation of the long term development

programs in the marginalised communities as well as becoming a global leader in the emergency

relief delivery. The company is also part of the world-wide movement campaigning against the

trade rules, to demand better health as well as access to services pertaining to education for all

and also to combat the changes in climate.

The main mission for the Oxfam international is to facilitate in the creation of lasting

solutions to the poverty injustices (Hajnal, 2018). The company is part of the global movement

to effect change, create human empowerment and also in creating a future which is secure to

live, just and also freed from the element of poverty. Hence, the company works to alleviate

poverty globally and also locally making this critical to the public as well as the political life in

Wales.

There are various focus as well as goals that keep the Oxfam company work for the many

injustice and poverty. The company employs six sided strategy to weave together the complex

web. From their first goal, when people are capable of claiming their fundamental human rights,

they can hence permanently escape poverty. With their partners, local communities as well as

their allies, the company helps people in claiming their rights. The second is that human

development is driven by empowered women. However, the female gender has always got

under-representation and even face some oppression. The company is committed to helping them

speak out and acquire justice in their quest to assert the roles in leadership. Besides, Oxfam

international works in the management of any possible disaster. They are known for helping

people who have been caught in conflicts as well as natural disasters. To achieve this mission,

the company typically are involved in the provision of the clean water, sanitation as well as food

in disaster zones. Therefore the co-vision of the Oxfam international is to have a world without

poverty (Hajnal, 2018). That is a world where people are treated and valued equally and also

enjoys their rights as citizens.

There are services and also programs the company provides in the achievement of their

objectives. Globally, the Oxfam works to acquire innovative and practical ways for the people to

lift themselves away from the injustices, poverty and also thrive. They participate in saving lives

and also assist in building a livelihood in times of critical crisis. Oxfam international have joined

hands with the various organizations together with the marginalized men and women in a bid to

stop the injustices aspects that result in poverty. The services offered by the company includes;

gender justice and women’s right, active citizenship, saving lives , dealing with inequality and

other essential services and provision of sustainable food.

According to my opinion, the does what is best for the empowerment of the humankind,

especially the vulnerable men and women in society. This helps in bringing unity and also in the

creation of fairness among the people. This comes as a result of the fact that the Oxfam works in

conjunction with the international federation of about nineteen organizations together with the

local communities. Therefore I support the firm in its role of saving lives and also rebuilding

livelihoods in cases where crisis strikes. Moreover, since I support its role, I would hence join its

email list-serve.

In conclusion, the Oxfam international is a non-profit organization which is fully

involved with the promotion of social justice as well as alleviation of poverty in the economy.

This, therefore, sets a basis for economic growth and development locally and also globally. The

Oxfam works to ensure that the poor people have an access of the share of power and resources

that will aid in reducing the inequality and poverty.
