What we do

Oxfam has a vision where all people are empowered to pursue development opportunities which address all forms of poverty and injustice.

Oxfam’s vision is of a Laos in which all citizens – in particular women, the marginalised, and discriminated groups – are able to claim their right to access opportunities and resources so as to overcome all forms of poverty and injustice. In the period from 2015-2019, Oxfam in Lao PDR will work to realise substantive changes in the lives of women and men living in poverty in the Lao PDR, with women at the centre of all our work. In Laos, Oxfam works with a variety of partners that range from government and civil society organisations to corporate and research institutes.
