Where we work
Central America, Mexico, and Caribbean
Oxfam supports women, rural communities, and small farmers as they raise their voices to defend their rights, improve their incomes, and protect their lands and livelihoods.
Oxfam supplies emergency aid to communities when needed, but we also work to help people improve their means of making a living, thereby fostering their self-sufficiency.
Oxfam helps indigenous people, women, and other groups protect their natural resources and defend their rights, while also improving people’s safety in the face of disasters.
Oxfam partners with local groups to tackle the fundamental causes of poverty and foster social change to alleviate it.
Oxfam works to build up resilience in the face of disasters; campaigns around community rights related to oil, gas, and mining; and supports community finance and livelihoods efforts.
