Contributing to securing a decent and sustainable life for communities that have suffered and are suffering from crises and disasters.
Premiere Urgence Internationale envisions a world where crisis-affected people have the means to meet their vital needs and shape their own future. We see access to healthcare, food, water, education, protection and safe housing as fundamental human rights and essential to all aspects of community well-being. With 40 years of experience in the humanitarian and development aid sector, Premiere Urgence Internationale is an independent French NGO, operating in 25 countries worldwide. Recognized by our peers and partners as "the last mile NGO", we intervene in crisis settings, particularly in the hardest-to-reach areas, to support populations affected by the effects of natural disasters, war, epidemics or economic collapse. In 2023, we assisted 5 million children, women, and men across four continents, making our NGO a key humanitarian player: -Because our 3,000 field staff understand the complexity of situations and local cultures, -Because we work hand in hand with local, national, and regional authorities and actors, as well as with communities, from the needs assessment stage, -Because our deep, holistic and agile expertise draws on complementary areas of competence - health, food security, nutrition, infrastructure rehabilitation and construction, water access, hygiene and sanitation, economic recovery and access to livelihoods, education and protection - we are able to respond: 1)in emergencies, to treat and manage physical, mental, or material trauma, 2) and beyond the emergency phase, to address the longer-term effects of crises, prevent recurrence risks and restore the ability of vulnerable populations to act on the path to resilience and development.
Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
