WHAT WE DO

Our Work

We work to address root causes of absolute poverty and inequality. We see poverty as a problem of powerlessness, in which people are deprived of opportunities, choices, resources, essential services, knowledge and protection.

Economic Justice

Right to Sustainable Livelihoods in rural India hinges on sustainable management and governance of agriculture and natural resources as two thirds of Indians live on farming, fisheries and forests.

Essential Services

Oxfam India focuses on the right to universal access to education and health care through its programs and campaigns on essential services.

Gender Justice

The Gender Justice theme covers two programs: Reduction of Violence Against Women and Political Empowerment of Women.

Humanitarian Response and DRR

We aim to promote new and better ways of responding to humanitarian crises and to enable the poor to anticipate, manage and reduce risks in disasters.

Emerging Themes

As a part of its first five year strategy, we have outlined some of the emerging themes which needed our attention, given their increasing importance in our development practices.

Campaigns

Campaigning with us can be a powerful way for you to influence our decision makers to find solutions to end poverty and injustice. Let's make a difference on the ground.

Emergency Response

Our humanitarian work aims at assuring protection and assistance to the affected women, men and children, in a manner consistent with their human rights. The focus is generally on: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.
