INTRODUCTION TO OXFAM

During world war II (1939-45), groups of

people in Britain started collecting food and clothes. They sent these to poor

families abroad. One of these groups was

the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief .

This started in 1942 and send food to Greece.

Once the war had ended, it began helping in many more countries around the world .

The group's name changed to Oxfam. It is now one of the UK’s main aid agencies,

and it supports communities in over 80 Countries.Oxfam works with people who

are suffering because of local wars ,natural disasters like earthquakes, or other causes of poverty .It helps people find solutions to their problems and build

better lives.

This means different things in different places at different times. The most basic areas are health ,education and training. But Oxfam supports economic development ,too ,with projects that create new jobs.
