Oxfam Ireland works with people to overcome poverty and injustice worldwide.
Oxfam Ireland currently focuses its long-term development work in East, Central and Southern Africa. Our development programme aims to support the poorest communities in Africa in a way that avoids dependency.
We help people to help themselves, accessing their basic rights to a secure livelihood, shelter, clean water, education and healthcare. We work with local partner organizations and campaign on behalf of the worlds poor. We have a particular focus on supporting women in all our programmes.
Oxfam Ireland responds to humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters around the world – wherever they happen. In the last 10 years, Oxfam Ireland has helped to rebuild lives in over 30 emergencies around the world. Oxfam is internationally renowned as a provider of clean, life-saving water and sanitation facilities in emergency situations.
We pioneer life-saving research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
From our volunteers and supporters to our scientists, doctors and nurses, we're all here to save more lives by preventing, controlling and curing all cancers. Together, we're leading the world in discovering and developing newer, kinder treatments and getting closer to cures. As a result we've helped double survival rates in just 40 years.
But we can't stop there. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and this statistic is getting worse. We don't receive Government funding for our research, so every step towards beating cancer relies on every pound donated. Research saves lives and our work is critical to ensuring more people beat this devastating disease.
Sooner or later we will find a way to cure all cancers. Let's make it sooner
