About us..

Oxfam Aotearoa (OAo) believes in a just, inclusive, sustainable world for everyone, now and for future generations. We are here to change and transform the systems that drive injustice and keep people in poverty.

We have a vision for the future that is deliberately different to the status quo. No longer wanting to be a traditional ‘charity’, Oxfam works in partnership. We facilitate, support, nurture, inspire, and spark collective action.

Our work is focused in the places where people are trapped in poverty and injustice, despite their incredible resilience and drive to change things. Our international development work spans advocacy, mobilisation, partnering to deliver in‑country programmes, and humanitarian response. Across this work, we build collective power to influence the people who can decide whether or not to alter unhelpful structures, whether these people are in governments, corporations, regional or international organisations, or in communities.

We couldn’t do what we do without the generous New Zealanders who share our vision and kindly donate time and money to support it. We raise funds for the greatest impact possible through a sophisticated public fundraising programme and by partnering with institutional donors such as the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Our values are core to who we are and how we behave because we understand how we work is as important as what issues we work on.

As we go about our work, we are committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We have a responsibility to address the injustices of colonisation here in Aotearoa just as we are committed to elsewhere. Supporting self‑determination here in Aotearoa, the Pacific, and beyond is fundamental to fighting injustice and achieving equity. It is foundational to our work.
