Challenge

It has been 7 months since the World Health Organization declared a pandemic, the highest warning level for infectious diseases, due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. As a result, the vulnerable in underdeveloped countries are notably at risk of crises in livelihoods and COVID-19 infections in poor conditions. The contagion that hit the world has tallied about 29 million confirmed cases and 920,000 deaths. With confirmed cases occurring daily, the end of COVID-19 is yet to be in sight. _{(as of 2020.09.15)}

Solution

Oxfam is mobilizing global support for structural change in communities beyond responding to food and economic crises based on its long-term field experience and expertise in illness and disease.
So far, Oxfam has supported more than 4 million people in 66 countries in partnership with 443 entities, with the goal of supporting 14 million vulnerable people in underdeveloped countries impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. _{(as of 2020.08.24)}

Challenge

Two-thirds of the world's poor are women, and 49% of Pakistani girls are out of school. If girls are not educated and forced into early marriage before the age of 18, they do not gain access to economic opportunities, live in poverty, and suffer severe damage and complications to their physical health by getting bearing children before they are fully grown.
No matter the country, culture, or region, even now, 23 girls each minute or 1 girl every 3 seconds worldwide are married against their will due to poverty, age-old customs, or gender discrimination. As many as 70,000 girls die each year as a result of early marriages.

Solution

We provide scholarships to girls who need financial help for their studies, and are also working to improve school programs for children to stay in school longer and avoid early marriage. Moreover, Oxfam also runs entrepreneurial skills workshop and lecture programs for out-of-school girls. From education to livelihood, Oxfam takes an integrated approach to empower girls to become women leaders.

On March 14th, 2019, Cyclone “Idai” hit Southern Africa, namely Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe, affecting nearly three million people with 750 reported fatalities. One month later in April, Cyclone “Kenneth” bore down on northern Mozambique with more than 160,000 people affected. People not only were displaced from their homes but faced a shortage of food and water while deteriorating sanitation led to the spread of cholera.

Oxfam has been responding on the scene, providing emergency relief services focusing on rehabilitating the deteriorating water and sanitation infrastructure. Listed below are the expenditures on emergency relief and development programs for Idai affected areas funded by Oxfam International which includes funds raised by Oxfam Trailwalker.

Lately, climate change is seen as one of the world’s biggest challenges. Impacts of climate change can be devastating especially for people in the poorest countries. Numerous people in Africa including Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya find their livelihood threatened due to drought. People of Ethiopia in particular, have been suffering for decades from the effects of Super El Niño.

Water shortages and other resource issues caused by recurrent drought are leaving catastrophic impacts for those who rely on farming and ranching for their livelihoods. Somalian ranchers claim that for the past four years they lost hundreds of livestock because of diminishing grazing areas caused by erratic rainfall and drought. Only 15 percent of ranchers in Ethiopia are known to have other sources of income which allows them to live relatively stable lives. But, for the vast majority lacking both resource and skill, there’s no choice but to constantly migrate to new pastures.

The situation is not much better for farmers as climate change causes precipitation decline rendering it impossible to raise crops. Their source of income is about to disappear but, at present, no plan is in the works to deal with the situation. For those without means of subsistence, climate change is far more than just an environmental issue.

In view of preserving the livelihood of communities devoted to farming and ranching in Africa, Oxfam has been working together with United Nations World Food Program(WFP) to introduce R4* Rural Resilience Initiative to enable those communities to integrate risk management strategies to strengthen their food and income security by responding to the challenges posed by increasingly frequent and intense climate disasters.

With the help of aforesaid problem-solving methods farming households in Ethiopia who were hitherto most vulnerable to climate change have become more involved and self-sufficient in the face of disasters. In 2019 over 25,000 individuals were able to pay for crop insurance to protect themselves when the yield was low due to poor rainfall. In the long run, fostering a virtuous circle through the R4 initiative would help improve community resilience ensuring long-term sustainability.

To date, Oxfam has provided assistance to over 160 thousand people in Ethiopia and committed to making concerted efforts to see that the system firmly takes root within the next ten years before moving on to the next step. However, there are still many farmers and ranchers suffering from climate-related causes and they are in need of our help

Since August 2017, Oxfam has been responding on the scene providing emergency relief services focusing on operating and managing water and sanitation initiatives. Projects listed below represents expenditures on emergency relief programs for Rohingya refugees and development funds covered by Oxfam UK which includes donations from Oxfam Trailwalker.

• Period : 25 Aug 2017 – 31 Jul 2018
• Total Fund : KRW 25,900,000,000
• Beneficiaries Continuously Supported: 약 260,000명

Oxfam has been working in Rwanda since the 1960s. Today, Oxfam acts as a catalyst and facilitator bringing people together to influence how change happens. Working with civil society, private sector and government bodies, we create partnerships, build capacity and facilitate access to skills, knowledge and technical expertise. Oxfam’s vision is for a country where women and men enjoy equal rights and benefits as part of an inclusive development process.

As part of a five-year project since 2017, we expect to provide sustainable livelihood support to 12,000 people. A portion of the funds raised by Oxfam Trailwalker was used to positively affect the lives of local communities including those in Rwanda helping to strengthen their ability to become more self-sufficient.

Biodigesters are really simple devices that work by converting pig poo and urine into gas that can then be piped into homes and used to cook with in the form of a gas stove. They resemble small white tunnel tents – and work similarly to greenhouses. The sun heats up the poo mixture to create the energy and gas.

Through the project, they are able to generate revenue from raising and selling pigs. And converting manure into fertilizer allow them to plant more crops. Kids are able to attend school, while women having more free time at their disposal are able to make a steady income. Enabling women to avoid exposure to noxious fumes from the wood fire would protect both their health and their environment.

Taking on Oxfam Trailwalker is to take on the challenge to save lives, to bring food and water to those in need, and to help communities around the globe rise out of poverty.
Thank you once again for joining us and sharing our aim of achieving “a just world without poverty.”
