Join in at the Oxfam Shop Göttingen

Oxfam is an international relief and development organisation. We work for a just world without poverty through

• worldwide emergency and disaster relief
• Project funding for development and crisis prevention
• global campaigns on the causes of poverty
• Commitment to better political and economic conditions

In the Oxfam Shops, teams of volunteers sell donated items for good causes and are thus committed to a just world without poverty. The profits benefit Oxfam's development work.
