[H1] Water and Sanitation

It's all too easy to forget what a miracle water is. In rich countries, clean, safe drinking water is so plentiful and easily available that we simply take it for granted. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right.
Yet around the world, billions of poor people are still facing the daily challenge of accessing safe water sources, spending countless hours queuing or trekking long distances, and coping with the health impacts of using contaminated water.
Millions get sick or die every day because they are forced go without these most basic services. Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people each year than all forms of violence, including war, making this one of the world’s most urgent health issues.

[H3] The costs of unsafe water
2.2 billion people do not have access to clean water at home.
2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines.
Worldwide, over 80% of all wastewater returns to the environment without being treated.
Every day, more than 800 children under five years of age die from diarrhea caused by dirty water.
700 million people worldwide could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030.

Water is central to almost every aspect of Oxfam’s work: our humanitarian responses, our campaigns, and our long-term initiatives to help families improve their incomes, reduce their vulnerability to disasters, and defend their rights.
Our work means ensuring equitable access to water in both quantity and quality, which prevents disease and sustains lives and livelihoods; reducing environmental health risks by managing sanitation safely and with dignity; and, involving women and men in managing water and sanitation resources and safe hygiene practices to maximize the benefits for their communities.

[H2] Water in emergencies
During emergencies, the water and sanitation systems that communities depend on often collapse or become enormously overtaxed. People are often traumatized, hungry, dehydrated and exhausted, and, therefore, they are more vulnerable to diseases such as diarrhea and cholera. Repairs or expansions take time, time that people who need them to stay alive don’t have. Without water, people can’t last much beyond three days.
That’s why we focus much of our emergency response on providing survivors with a safe supply of water and reducing public health risks. Our water engineers and public health specialists are known internationally for their speed and efficiency in providing large-scale water supply systems and essential sanitation facilities, even in the most difficult circumstances.
Historically, through innovation, we have set the standard across the sector for many approaches and technologies that are now commonly used, such as easy-to-assemble water storage tanks, water buckets, water treatment units, and latrine slab structures.
[H2] Clean water reduces poverty
Access to clean water is also deeply linked to poverty. Water scarcity, poor water quality and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices and educational opportunities for poor families across the world, especially for women and girls who spend endless hours fetching water over long distances.
For Oxfam, tackling the root causes of poverty often means addressing these water-related injustices. We’re supporting long-term projects with sustainable solutions to provide safe water and sanitation and to address water insecurity through fairer and more efficient management and distribution of water resources.
Clean water and a clean environment shouldn’t be a luxury. We have to make safe water and sanitation available to everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live. We simply can’t end poverty without it.

[H1] Food, Climate, and Natural Resources

Almost a billion of us go to bed hungry every night. Not because there isn't enough food for everyone, but because of the deep injustice in the way food is produced and accessed.Increasing corporate power in food production, the climate crisis, and unfair access to natural resources impact on people’s ability to grow and buy food. They are particularly harmful for women, who work in agriculture more than any other sector and produce much of the world’s food.
[H2] Hunger in a world of plenty
The food sector reflects the rampant economic and gender inequality that we see in the global economy as a whole. At one end, the people who produce our food, and more so women, often face the greatest levels of hunger, get paid less than men, and work under degrading conditions. At the other end, big supermarkets and other corporate food giants control global food markets and reap the profits.Increasing hunger is driven by the worsening climate crisis. It’s harder to grow food in the face of supercharged storms, more intense droughts, and rising sea levels. Climate change disproportionately affects people in vulnerable situations and threatens their rights.Climate change also exacerbates pressure on land, alongside the growth in demand for natural resources. Poor communities find themselves in competition with powerful interests for control over the land, water, forest, and energy resources that they depend upon for survival.

[H3] Let's look at the numbers
821 M821 million people around the world face chronic food deprivation. This is a return to levels from almost a decade ago.20 MIn 2017, over 20 million people were on the brink of starvation and in need of humanitarian assistance in East Africa due to the impact of climate change.5%For products like Ecuadorian bananas or Indian tea, less than 5% of the price paid by consumers in Europe and the US reach small-scale farmers.100 MThe World Food Program estimates that giving women farmers more resources could reduce the number of hungry people in the world by 100-150 million.1/5Indigenous Peoples and local communities legally own just one-fifth of the lands they manage collectively and have protected for centuries.

[H2] A fairer and sustainable global food system
Advancing the right of people living in poverty to adequate and sustainable livelihoods has been a cornerstone of Oxfam’s work for many decades. Our goal is to enable millions of women and communities on the frontline of the fight against hunger to respond to a changing climate, to become more resilient and productive, and to secure access to the land and natural resources on which they depend.

Supporting small-scale farmers and workers

Investment in small-scale farming—particularly women farmers—is a proven success in many countries. It can help produce enough to feed a growing population and reduce poverty. We work to make small farms more productive by helping local producers with sustainable techniques, by supporting them to work together in cooperatives and producer organizations, and to advocate to their governments for the investment they need. We also campaign for the right to dignified work in food value chains.

Building resilience to and campaigning to fight the climate crisis

The climate crisis will hit women small-scale farmers and producers harder over the next decade. Our aim is to help them become more resilient and to achieve this, we work alongside our partners and allies to enable them to voice their concerns and implement measures to strengthen their capacity to cope. We campaign for greater action to ensure global temperature increases are kept below 1.5C and that people living in developing countries are supported to adapt.

Protecting land rights and natural resources

We support women and communities in their struggle to defend their land. We do this by supporting them to call for fairer laws and policies, at a national and global level. We work with farmers and fishers to defend their right to life-sustaining natural resources and against pollution and other threats. And we campaign so that they will be consulted and get their fair share of the revenues in extractive projects.

[H1] Conflicts and Disasters

Every year since 2008, the world has become less peaceful. From climate-related disasters to long-lasting conflicts and insecurity, we witnessed a rise in the scale and frequency of humanitarian crises, increasing the number of vulnerable people, displaced, at risk or in need of assistance.In Syria, Yemen, or South Sudan, conflicts continue to threaten and destroy the lives of millions of women, men and children, trapping them in a vicious cycle of violence, poverty and inequality. Hunger is again on the rise, reversing years of progress.The number of climate-related disasters has tripled in 30 years, causing harm and suffering to communities across the globe. By the 2030s, large parts of Southern, Eastern and the Horn of Africa, and South and East Asia will experience greater exposure to droughts, floods, and tropical storms.

[H2] Let's look at the numbers
Overall, more than 132 million people across the world need humanitarian assistance and protection.One-third of the world’s poor live in fragile and conflict-affected countries. By 2030, this share is likely to grow to one-half.In 2019 the number of people who have been forced from their homes by war and persecution reached 68 million –  the highest number since World War II.The number of people going hungry worldwide is growing, reaching 690 million in 2019.An Oxfam’s analysis shows that, on average, 14 million people were reported newly displaced by extreme weather disasters each year over the period 2008-2016.

[H2] Delivering high quality aid: Oxfam's response
Oxfam has a long and well-recognized record of humanitarian relief in times of crisis. When disaster strikes, we respond - delivering high quality lifesaving assistance and essential protection to the most affected. We make sure people can get clean water to drink and decent sanitation. We provide help for them to get food and the essentials they need to survive, and we work with people on the journey to self-sufficiency.Through our long-term development programs, we stay well after the dust has settled to help rebuild communities to come back stronger from disaster and support them in being better prepared to cope with shocks and uncertainties.
[H3] Building resilience and local capacity
The scale and nature of these humanitarian crises have led us to put more emphasis on building the resilience of affected populations and increasing national and local response capacity and ownership. We recognize that local responders are often the best placed to help in emergencies, and we work with governments, local organizations, and communities so that they are ready to respond in emergencies, and able to cope when crisis hits.
[H3] Supporting women’s rights and gender justice
In all our responses, we prioritize the needs of women and girls, who are often discriminated against or have fewer resources to face and recover from emergencies. We promote the safe and accessible use of our humanitarian programs by women and girls, and support women's organizations to lead in emergency preparedness, risk reduction, and response.
[H3] Campaigning and influencing others
The goal of our campaigning is not just to speak for people in need, but to open the way for them to speak for themselves. A key part of our humanitarian work is campaigning and using our influence to make sure women, men, and children are provided the assistance they need and have their rights respected. We also seek to address and ultimately remedy the political and structural root causes of their vulnerability.

[H1] Extreme Inequality and Essential Services

Our economy is broken. From Ghana to Spain, India to Brazil, absurd levels of wealth exist alongside desperate poverty. Since 2015, the richest 1% has owned more wealth than the rest of the planet. In countries around the world, a small elite are taking an ever-increasing share of their nation’s income, while hundreds of millions of people are still living without access to clean water and without enough food to feed their families.Extreme inequality is hurting us all, but it is the poorest people who suffer most – especially women and girls. No matter how hard they work, far too many suffer the indignity of poverty wages and are denied basic rights. In many countries a decent education or quality healthcare has become a luxury only the rich can afford.

[H3] Let's look at the numbers

1%
The world's richest 1% have more than twice as much wealth as 6.9 billion people.

$5.50
Nearly half of the world's population – 3.4 billion people – is living on less than $5.50 a day.

100 M
Every year, 100 million people worldwide are pushed into poverty because they have to pay out-of-pocket for healthcare.

258 M
Today 258 million children – 1 out of every 5 – will not be allowed to school.

50%
Globally, women earn 24 percent less than men and own 50% less wealth.

[H2] Extreme inequality: a barrier to poverty reduction
The gap between rich and poor grows wider every year and leads to huge differences in life chances. It exacerbates existing inequalities in other areas, such as those based on gender, geography, ethnicity, race, caste, or religion. It damages our economies, fuels public anger across the globe, and stands in the way of eliminating global poverty.The race to the bottom on personal income and corporate tax is a large part of the problem. While public services are suffering from chronic underfunding or being outsourced to private companies, many governments are under-taxing corporations and wealthy individuals, losing significant amounts of money that could be invested in schools, hospitals, and roads. Corporate tax dodging costs poor countries at least $100 billion every year.
[H2] Fighting for a more equal world
From campaigning to end the financial secrecy that shelters trillions hidden in tax havens, to encouraging investment in universal education and healthcare – Oxfam is working to make sure that the poor get a share of the power and resources that will help to reduce poverty and inequality. We have extensive experience of delivering programs and campaigns that advance people's rights through work on tax, budget, and social accountability.Our key approaches include:Invest in work on tax justice and domestic resources mobilization and advocate fairer, pro-poor taxation policiesSupport civil society to monitor public finance and to hold governments accountable for delivery of free quality servicesSupport campaigns for health and education and support organizations that work with governments on innovative ways to reach women and girlsExtreme inequality is not inevitable or accidental. It is the result of deliberate political and economic choices, and it can be reversed.
