    Overlooking the Somaliland landscape years ago, one could see patches of green in a vast dry land, with hints of seasonal water courses, where rivers once were. Just like the vast land in need of rain, developmental needs here were overwhelming. The  majority of the people here survived in difficult conditions, and everyday life was […]

    Oxfam responds in Mugunga camp, eastern DRC

    by Louis Belanger January 24, 2013, 8:49 am 0 Comments

    Since April last year about 50,000 people have fled to the Mugunga camp, close to Goma, to try and escape the fighting in eastern DR Congo. Oxfam teams there are trucking in 100,000 litres of clean water every day, and building latrines and showers to improve the sanitation. My colleague Eddy Mbuyi also took some […]

    E-cash on the rise in Somalia

    by OXFAM HECA January 8, 2013, 11:14 am 6 Comments

    Oxfam partner Hijra recently began an innovative new “e-cash” project to deliver aid to people in Mogadishu via mobile phones. Women like Kadija Mohammed, who uses the $150 she receives to invest in her small shop, say receiving mobile cash gives her far more options than traditional food aid: “The money gives me choices, it […]

    I’ve often had to document Oxfam’s hygiene promotion activities in communities, schools, markets and other public places. But never a prison. Until now. In the town of Bunia in DR Congo’s Orientale Province, Oxfam’s health and emergency response teams have been tackling a serious cholera outbreak. We’ve been working with a local water provider, Ngongo, […]

    In June last year Oxfam gave small video cameras to a community in north-east DRC, where the Lords Resistance Army continues to attack villages and abduct people. We wanted to give people the chance to tell their own stories. Below are three stories filmed by Aimee, Animomu and Michel. This is Aimee, whose daughter was […]

    Chukua Hatua, which means “Take action” in Kiswahili, is a programme aiming to support “active citizenship” in communities in northern Tanzania – meaning citizens who ask, know and demand their rights.

    by admin April 2, 2012, 6:40 pm 0 Comments

    Darfur is more than just a conflict – for 6 million people it’s a home. Yet armed conflict in Darfur has uprooted more than 2.5 million people. Oxfam is working with Sudanese partners to provide clean water, agricultural support, tree seedlings, fuel-efficient stoves, and small business trainings and grants for people living in and around […]

    Eastern Congo is supposed to be at peace. But life for civilians in Mweso in North Kivu is anything but peaceful. Although a peace agreement was signed three years ago, ongoing instability, violence, a worsening humanitarian situation and festering ethnic tensions continue to make life precarious for civilians.
