Braving Covid-19 together

A one-year story

March 11, 2020

The World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic.

A year on. The disease has infected over 100 million and killed over 2 million. Its economic and social fallout will be felt for decades. It affected us all in different and unpredictable ways. 

Covid-19 has magnified what it is to live in poverty and with discrimination, as it has to live in security and privilege. Covid-19 also brought the best in us, with stories of solidarity, bravery and resilience. 

Covid-19 hit Oxfam too. We had to change the scope and scale of our work. We had to adapt to cope to Covid-19 and the costs it demanded. But because of the belief and goodwill of our amazing supporters and partners we emerge having helped 14 million people around the world through Coronavirus Year 1. 

We are proud to invite you at this snapshot of the past year of Oxfam’s work with our staff and partners around the world.

A time of extraordinary solidarity

Inequality is at an all-time high. But one year on, Oxfam has also felt an extraordinary solidarity, bravery and diversity of action with our supporters, partners, volunteers, and staff. The pandemic sparked new ways for us to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners in support of the communities we work with, and bring our supporters along with us.

Please support our work and help us do more.
