Oxfam is a global confederation of 21 independent charitable organizations working together with partners and local communities in more than 90 countries. They work to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. Oxfam was founded in 1942 in Oxford, England, by a group of people who were determined to help people in need after the Second World War. The organization quickly grew and expanded its work to other countries. Today, Oxfam is one of the world’s leading humanitarian and development organizations.
