Oxfam America at Centenary College

Oxfam America at Centenary College Oxfam America is a global organization working to right the wrong of poverty and injustice. At Centenary, Oxfam is partnered with Santé. It’s wrong.

Nearly one out of every three of us lives in poverty. But we see a future in which no one does. The way we see it, poverty is solvable—
A problem rooted in injustice. Eliminate injustice and you can eliminate poverty. We’re not saying it will be quick or easy,
but it can be done. We won't patch a problem and then disappear. We won't stand by silently and watch others suffer. Instead, we stand to

gether against injustice. We recognize our responsibility
to hold the powerful accountable. We see people’s power to change their lives. It disturbs us that in a world as rich as ours,
many of us go hungry or don’t have clean water. Many of us can’t claim our human rights. And together we aim to do what’s right. Oxfam America. Right the wrong. - See more at: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/whoweare/what-we-believe .4v2guRiQ.dpuf

Yesterday, UNHCR announced that there are now more than 2.5 million refugees from Syria. To put that in perspective: imagine if the entire populations of Maine and New Hampshire were forced to flee their homes.
