Oxfam is a global organization working together to end the injustice of poverty. Oxfam Canada is part of a network of 20 Oxfam organizations working with local partners in more than 90 countries. Oxfam Canada saves lives in disasters, works on long-term development projects, and campaigns for change.

I am a strong supporter of the work undertaken by Oxfam Canada tackling big issues that keep people poor: inequality, discrimination and unequal access to resources including food, water, and decent work. Oxfam Canada supports a global movement for change – and women are leading that change.

This year all donations are being Matched 2X! 

The persistent drought conditions first seen in 2020, that continue to plague Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya, with more than 23 million people facing severe shortages of food and water. In addition to this the influx of refugees from the Sudan conflict have flooded into Chad, Central African Republic, and South Sudan, putting a strain on already overburdened humanitarian relief efforts in these regions.

The Government of Canada has announced a 2X Match donation campaign to address this crisis in East Africa. That means every donation from this fundraiser will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Canadian Government until June 30 to save more lives from this hunger crisis. 

Thank you for your support! Every action we take together to advance women’s rights is a step closer towards ending poverty for good.
