Lasting change starts small, with all of us right now

• £5 a month could help Oxfam’s local partners provide climate-resistant crops like cassava stems, and training that supports communities to start farming and continue ending hunger for themselves.
• £10 a month could help provide farming tools and essentials people need to cultivate land and crops and begin to feed whole communities.
• £20 a month could support a small grant to enable farming businesses to grow and diversify, enabling communities to have a secure source of food for years to come.

FEMINET’s small actions have added up to huge change for their community. Just as your small tap or click of a button below could add up to huge, lasting change against hunger.

Alpha, Oxfam Country Director, Sierra Leone

"We've faced many troubles in Sierra Leone in recent years. Extreme heat and drought, as well as floods during rainy season, have decimated crops and farmland. People already struggling to make an income face soaring food prices – now reaching 50% inflation.

“But our work is making a difference. After Oxfam and our local partners supported community groups with tools, with training and with other essentials, I’ve seen changes that I know will last. Changes that go beyond people in my country having enough food to eat. Children going to school healthy, women working for themselves and finding their voices to speak out for their rights.

“People are starting to create a better future for Sierra Leone, together. But there is still a long way to go. The climate crisis is only going to get worse and, in too many places, hunger is still rising.”

Every single day, Alpha sees what people can achieve with a little support, even in the face of conflict, climate change and inflation, all of which affects East Africa and many countries globally. Communities in hunger crises around the world could achieve lasting change, if we all come together. Will you join our global movement?

Intermittent drought and torrential rain is devastating farmland, causing food shortages and widespread hunger throughout the Horn and East of Africa especially.

Magdalene, Alpha and groups around the world are proof that small starts can become life-changing for entire communities. The hunger crisis is a growing issue, made worse by climate change, conflict and rising costs that are forcing more communities into food insecurity, here in the UK and globally.

Today, you can join Oxfam’s global community of people working against hunger. Along with local partners, we support communities with the tools, training and essentials they need to end hunger for themselves. With your support, local farming groups can grow food year after year, in the face of climate disasters and rising inflation. Together we can also challenge the injustices of hunger. When you join Oxfam, you become part of a movement that asks the world's governments to protect and provide for the people going hungry every day.

The global food crisis is a massive issue and huge, lasting change will start with small steps from all of us. As small as a tap or a click below right now.
