Oxfam Republic of Ireland

Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of poverty. Together we save lives and rebuild communities when disaster strikes. We help people build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality and discrimination against women. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty. Supported by people and our fantastic volunteers across the island of Ireland for over 60 years, we are an independent, secular, and not-for-profit organisation. OUR VISION IS A JUST WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY OUR VALUES are equality, empowerment, solidarity, inclusiveness, accountability, and courage. Oxfam Ireland has 46 shops across the island of Ireland, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and nearly 1,000 volunteers who are delivering real change to the lives of people affected by poverty. Every penny or cent people spend in our shops in Ireland helps to support our work around the world. Through the network of our shops, Oxfam diverts textiles and other goods from landfill or incineration, transforming would-be greenhouse gas emissions into vital funds that support communities affected by the climate crisis worldwide. By donating to Oxfam Ireland supporters are reducing waste and therefore the number of emissions and toxins polluting our soil, water, and air. The fashion industry produces 20% of global wastewater and is responsible for 10% of carbon emissions.
