Oxfam Novib, a member of Oxfam International, is fighting for a just world without poverty. Together with people, organisations, businesses and governments. Through projects and lobby. Locally and internationally. Because poverty and injustice are global problems. They are about unjust economic and political relationships.
That is why all the Oxfams are working together to have more influence and achieve more in our struggle for a just world without poverty.

Intermón Oxfam is a NGO which has been working for 49 years for the development of poor countries. The organisation was set up in 1956 by the Society of Jesus, who promoted the current Foundation in 1986, which is pluralist and independent, and in which it continues to participate actively. In 1997 we joined the confederation Oxfam International in order to enhance the efficiency of our work in combating poverty and injustice in the world.

Cimade is an association created in 1939 to help people displaced and gathered in camps in the South of France. During the second world war, the association participated actively in the resistance against Nazism and in saving Jews. After the war, it worked for reconciliation between France and Germany, then for the independance and development of the former French colonies, in particular Algeria. Today Cimade helps asylum seekers and aliens in France, and is engaged in developping solidarity in Eastern and Southern countries.
