Who we are

Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Oxfam confederation currently has 21 member organizations working in 79 countries. We share a vision of a just and sustainable world. A world where people and the planet are at the center of our economy. Where women and girls live free from violence and discrimination. Where the climate crisis is contained. And where governance systems are inclusive and allow for those in power to be held to account.

Oxfam in Vietnam believes that a reduction in poverty, injustice, and inequality will occur through the interaction between active citizens, accountable states and responsible private sector, and that it is fundamental to Vietnam’s development. Oxfam in Vietnam contributes to a shift from the current growth-based development model to a Human Economy that cares for People and the Planet. 

We have a vision of a just and sustainable world. A world where people and the planet are at the center of our economy. Where women and girls live free from violence and discrimination.

We fight inequality to end poverty and injustice.

We believe in the power of people.

Change at scale is possible when we act in solidarity with the people experiencing poverty and injustice. They are the changemakers who will win the fight against inequality. They are the ones who will beat poverty and injustice.

We commit to living our values so that we can be known for our integrity. This means transforming our governance, management, and operational structures, and nurturing a culture of continuous learning and reflection.

We understand that how we work is as important as what we work on.

Equality

We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and to have the same rights and opportunities.

Empowerment

We acknowledge and seek to expand people’s agency over their lives and the decisions that impact them.

Solidarity

We join hands, support, and collaborate across boundaries in working towards a just and sustainable world.

Inclusiveness

We embrace diversity and difference and value the perspectives and contributions of all people and communities in their fight against poverty and injustice.

Accountability

We take responsibility for our action and inaction and hold ourselves accountable to the people we work with and for.

Courage

We speak truth to power and act with conviction on the justice of our causes.

We are committed to working with others as part of a global movement for social justice. We understand that inequality is multi-dimensional, and mobilize to transform unjust systems.  

To create change that lasts, we build on our experience as a diverse and inter-dependent global network of organizations.
