Oxfam is an international confederation of 15 organizations working in over 90 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and related injustices. It was originally founded in 1942 in Oxford, UK as a relief committee to persuade the British government to allow food aid to starving citizens in Axis-occupied Greece. Oxfam now urgently needs $1 million to avoid a hunger crisis in Niger from impacting up to 3.5 million people, as drought, high food prices, poverty, regional conflicts, and refugees have led to 1.9 million people already facing hunger.
