Impact, Amplified: Local Partners Driving Sustainable Change

Right now the need for support in countries with substantial Muslim populations is urgent.

The challenges faced by these communities are immense, ranging from conflict-driven displacement to the impact of climate change and economic instability. Throughout the month of Ramadan and beyond, Oxfam will be working in equal partnership with a network of local organisations in Bangladesh, OPT, Yemen and Syria and more, to help those facing poverty and extreme hardship.

From providing emergency relief to supporting livelihoods, our partner organisations span many regions, reaching millions of individuals and families each year. With their local expertise, our reach and your collective support, together, we can make a powerful difference this giving season.
