About Oxfam International
Oxfam is an international confederation of 18 organisations working together with partners and local communities in more than 90 countries. One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilising the power of people against poverty. Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. The more current emergencies Oxfam Trailwalker is looking into include: the Nepal earthquake (more than 8,800 people were killed in the April 2015 earthquake, and thousands of people were displaced); the Syria crisis (over 13.5 people, half of Syria’s pre-war population are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance); and the Ethiopia drought (which has led to the worst food crisis in 30 years).
