About us..
Oxfam Aotearoa believes in a just, inclusive, sustainable world for everyone, now and for future generations. We are here to change and transform the systems that drive climate and gender injustice.
With a vision for the future that is deliberately different to the status quo, Oxfam Aotearoa has evolved as an organisation. Across the world, Oxfam continues to grow its focus on systems change through influencing. No longer wanting to be a traditional ‘charity’ organisation, Oxfam is actively seeking to facilitate, support, nurture, inspire and spark collective action to transform the systems that create and entrench discrimination, exclusion and poverty.
Our work is focused in the places where people are trapped in poverty and injustice, despite their incredible resilience and drive to change things. Our international development work spans advocacy, mobilisation, partnering to deliver in-country programmes, and humanitarian response. Across this work, we build collective power to influence the people who can decide whether or not to alter unhelpful structures, whether these people are in governments, corporations, regional or international organisations, or in communities.
We couldn’t do what we do without the generous Kiwis who share our vision, kindly donating time and money to support our vision. We raise funds for the greatest impact possible through a sophisticated public fundraising programme, and through partnering with institutional donors such as the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
