Oxfam America

Local Partners

Local groups are the heart of Oxfam's work. When choosing organizations to fund and work with, we look for those who can lead and build trust, those with the potential to do the greatest good. We work with local organizations throughout the United States, concentrating on family farmers, workers' rights, and supporting Native Americans affected by mining.

Through involvement with the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, farmers Johnnie and Ulysses Marabel expanded their farm from 60 acres to 650 acres in the course of 50 years of hard work. They were able to provide college educations for all of their 10 children, and during the peanut harvest they provide jobs to the local community.
