Oxfam GB

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.

Empower International

EMPOWER INTERNATIONAL TRUST (EIT) is a New Zealand registered charity. We are also a charitable entity within Australia. We have been operating since 1990. We care for about 300 teenagers who receive 24/7 care while residing in one of our 19 safe-houses. They receive nutritious meals and support physically, emotionally, spiritually and also in terms of education. The work is all carried out in a loving family environment. EIT's basic modus operandi has always been to: Possess a default thinking that wherever possible we empower local indigenous community leaders to have as much responsibility to take on as much of the work as possible instead of using western personnel. This has meant that all of our 19 safe houses (located in Honduras, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Kolkata (India), Nepal and Bhutan) are run by indigenous house parents who are chosen by established local indigenous boards, As a western organisation, we see our mission as working to encourage indigenous folk to have the freedom to make as many decisions as possible on their own. We monitor the work, we give specialised training, lead in fund raising and we encourage them to think in terms of expansion and not simply "maintaining", We work with young people from a broad range of religious and cultural backgrounds. Many of our children come from difficult and somewhat dysfunctional family backgrounds. A number have been neglected, orphaned or even abandoned. Over our countries of operation, we can clearly see that girls are seriously at-risk (through no fault of their own) of entering the sex industry, slave labour or other forms of exploitation and unsafe employment, We are happy to go to difficult places and work amongst people from difficult backgrounds, Because of our operation style, we can be both very flexible and of course we have been able to work amongst secluded tribes/ethnic groups that western organisations would never be able to reach into, It may be that a child lives within one of our project homes for a period of several years, so we can quietly and calmly take our time to develop them by showing love and simple encouragement and assisting them to make positive life decisions, We have no desire to separate the children from their own village homes and actively encourage guardians' participation. During school holidays the children return to their families, Though we may be a faith-based not for profit, we have no interest in criticising the religions or belief system of others. We have seen a very good level of positive development amongst our young people. Some have risen to become medical doctors, professional engineers, accountants, one is an assistant university professor and another a school principal while others are human rights lawyers, community workers and still others are working in NGO organisations. Also, many have become schoolteachers. One of our young men was recently selected to study to become a surgeon at India's top ranked medical college. The young people living in the homes are normally aged between 13 - 20 years. We remain in close contact with many of our graduates who now no longer live in our homes and who instead are either attending university or polytechnic. Other graduates have now completed their tertiary studies. Now our boards in Thailand, Cambodia and Nepal are comprised of a number of our graduates in fact two of the boards are chaired by our graduates.
