Inside front cover

Last out.We’re committed to staying around for

as long as there’s need – regardless of

whether the world’s media is watching.

First in.When an emergency happens,

anywhere in the world, Oxfam 365

responds immediately.

In tough, challenging places,

we save lives. In the last five years,

we’ve helped 20 million people.

We’re solutions people.

Each year, because of conflict and natural disasters, more than

35 million people are forced from their homes. Communities are

destroyed. Lives are lost. But in the devastation, there is hope.

For almost 70 years, we’ve led the world in responding to

disasters. In unimaginably tough conditions, Oxfam 365 –

our global emergency response – saves lives.

Our solutions are ingeniously clever, and

brilliantly simple. We’re world leaders in

water and sanitation. Renowned experts

in providing shelter, food, protection.

Our people are skilled and determined.

Quick-thinking and smart. Ambitious – and

when we need to be, unashamedly bolshy.

We’re one of the world’s most trusted emergency response teams.

Powered by people. Driven by saving lives.

“Chad is one of the hardest places in the world to find

water. We quickly found a new source, and were extracting

three litres every second. A vital improvement.”Roland van Hauwermeiren

Asian Tsunami 2004:

The impact you can make.

> On 26 December 2004, the Tsunami ripped through South East Asia, causing destruction on a huge scale. Oxfam responded immediately.

So i

Oxfam 365 the business.

Engineering.Water and sanitation solutions are the bedrock of our work.

Get them right, and lives are saved. Get them wrong, and

diseases like cholera can spread fast. Our water engineers

are renowned for their speed, their proficiency and their

technical expertise. In unimaginably tough conditions,

their skills save lives.

Construction.We’re experts in construction. From small-scale work

like basic latrines for people living in makeshift camps.

To larger projects like temporary shelter for people

who’ve lost their homes to floods and earthquakes.

Our warehouse in Bicester is full of vital equipment.

Things that would grace any builder’s supplies, like

pipes, fittings, pumps. And things that wouldn’t.

Like donkey-proof taps.

Don’t think of us as a charity, think of us as a business.

We’re long-established (we’ve been responding to disasters

for around 70 years). Multinational (we have 26,000 staff in

more than 60 countries). And results-driven (in the last five

years alone we’ve helped 20 million people). Here are the

key sectors we specialise in – sectors you can support.

Communication

& logistics.When an emergency hits, we depend on reliable communication

channels to co-ordinate our international response. Effective links

between our headquarters in Oxford, our country offices and our

personnel on the ground are vital. With these channels in place,

we can co-ordinate our multi-million pound emergency reponse.

Get 30 tonnes of life-saving equipment to any UK airport within

13 hours. And ensure the public, media and authorities are

kept up-to-date with our progress.

Listening.At the heart of our operations are the people we work

to help. March in and tell them what we think they need,

and the response will fail. Instead, we carry out a full

market assessment. We talk to the people caught up in

the emergency – going to great lengths to understand

the community, cultural issues, gender needs. Getting

this part right is crucial. Lives depend on it.

“You have to work fast, think fast, take decisions fast.”

Tim Forster, Oxfam Public Health Engineer

Rwanda 1994:

The biggest refugee

movement ever witnessed.

We were there.

At the core of our work is a team of highly-skilled, highly-experienced Humanitarian Support Personnel. Logisticians, accountants, engineers. People from all walks of life. Many of whom use the skills they’ve learnt in the private sector to save lives.

Profile: Graham MackayDeputy Humanitarian Director

Graham has been at the forefront of Oxfam’s emergency responses in recent years. In that time, he’s faced challenging experiences like severe weather conditions in North Korea, and being trapped in a war zone in northern Sri Lanka.

Graham sees his role as being first about problem solving, second, making sense of chaotic situations, and third, getting people to work together. “At its worst, I’ve been known to lock engineers in a room and only let them out when they’ve got the picture,” he says. “The biggest problem to overcome is inertia. In emergency relief, we’d much rather give the go ahead with 70% or 80% of the solutions worked out than wait for the full 100% solution.”

Profile: Eleanor BrittonHumanitarian Support Accountant

Eleanor has recently returned from a major project working in Jamaica – helping to restore water and sanitation to 300,000 people forced from their homes by Hurricane Dean.

“This was the toughest challenge of my career so far. You tend to think of Jamaica as an idyllic holiday destination rather than as an emergency location, but the widespread poverty and vulnerability of people away from the tourist areas is very evident – especially in the south of the island. We had to think quickly on our feet on a daily basis to come up with solutions that worked. It wasn’t just a case of reacting to the destruction wrought by this hurricane, but trying to implement disaster preparedness for the next one and the one after that.”

We’re powered

by people.

“The best teams have a strong ‘bolshy’ element. The last thing you want in critical situations is a bunch of yes men and women.”

“It’s incredibly satisfying to deliver the solution and see the realisation on people’s faces that somebody really does care.”

BackgroundBSc (Hons) in Chemistry, PhD in Analytical Chemistry, MSc in International Development Policy, Certified Diploma in Accounting & Finance. Graham spent six years with LGC, four years with assorted NGOs around the world and two years setting up the charity ‘Mango’. He’s been with Oxfam for seven years.

BackgroundBA (Hons) in Accounting, CIMA Qualified. A trained management accountant with Fujitsu and Motorola, Eleanor also worked directly for the Financial Director of Amazon Europe as UK Accounting Manager for four years before joining Oxfam.

Profile: Andy BastableSenior Public Health Engineering Coordinator

“The mid-1990s saw some of Oxfam’s greatest achievements. In Rwanda alone, our water engineers and technicians were providing water for around 800,000 camp-based refugees.”

Andy talks with passion about encouraging people in the field to innovate and explore new techniques in water purification and extraction. But he believes it’s the humanitarian side of any engineering challenge that makes the difference as to whether the project succeeds or fails.

“You have to agree a solution that everyone signs up to,” he says. “But before you can do that you need to carry out a community assessment. Are the chiefs actually the chiefs? Has everybody been informed who needs to be? I’ve had too many guns pointed at my temple to get this part of the process wrong.”

Profile: Daudi BikabaPublic Health Engineering Adviser

Daudi learnt that Oxfam engineers are never just engineers early on, whilst working in a remote area of Eritrea: “The problem was all the able-bodied men were fighting, so we were working with the most vulnerable people. We needed local volunteers to help put in a water system by digging trenches for burying pipes. The authorities told me that, culturally, women do not dig in that region – but I managed to speak directly to the community. The moment the women understood what we were doing, they were keen to help. Within two days we had hundreds of volunteers. A couple of days later we had many kilometres of laid pipeline.

“For success, you must involve communities and consider cultural and gender issues. The perfect response is defined and agreed by the people you’re helping.”

“As an Oxfam engineer, you’re never just an engineer. You have to have a myriad of skills – people skills, PR, advocacy.”

“In war-torn countries, the consequences of not getting the community consultations right are severe.”

BackgroundBsc in Civil Engineering, Msc in Sanitary Engineering.Daudi began his career in Uganda in the private sector working as an engineering consultant. He then worked with the UN Development Programme as an engineer in public health and sanitation, before joining Oxfam for a 12-month interim appointment. He’s worked with us ever since.

BackgroundBSc (Hons) in Geology & Environment, MSc Water Engineering.Andy has spent the majority of his 25-year career working as a water and sanitation expert in some of the world’s worst disaster areas – Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, Bosnia.

“We cannot change geography. But we can change how people prepare and respond.” Yolette Etienne, Oxfam Haiti Country Director

Think of a major conflict or natural disaster in the last century. Oxfam was there – offering life-saving support on a massive scale. These are some of our biggest responses.

1940s & 50s Refugees in Europe

In 1942, Oxfam successfully campaigned for food

aid to be delivered to starving women and children

in Nazi-occupied Greece. In the following years, we

provided clothes, food, medical supplies and books

to victims of the Second World War around Europe.

1970s Guatemala earthquake

In response to a disaster that destroyed thousands

of homes, Oxfam’s Field Director Reggie Norton

used US$845,000 to buy the entire local stock of

corrugated iron to help build shelters for the

people who were hardest hit.

Measurable impact

on a global scale.

1960s Biafra famine

Between 1967 and 1970, during the

Nigerian civil war, blockades around

Biafra cut off the food supply to millions

of people. We provided food and

medical relief, and a medical team to

both sides, during and after the war.

2000s Asian Tsunami

Following the devastating Boxing Day Tsunami,

we provided 2.5 million people in seven countries

with clean, safe water and shelter. Long after the

disaster left the UK headlines, Oxfam was still there,

helping people to rebuild their lives.

1980s Ethiopia famine

With the scale of suffering in Ethiopia shocking

the world, Oxfam responded with food, water,

equipment, clothing, shelter, vehicles, health

workers – and 14,000 tonnes of grain. We also

tipped off Michael Buerk to visit the region,

sparking the huge media coverage that followed.

199os Rwanda genocide

Between 1994 and 1996, in the largest humanitarian operation

in our history, Oxfam provided safe drinking water for hundreds

of thousands of refugees in Tanzania and Zaire within days of

their arrival – and until they went home over a year later.

1970s Cambodia genocide

After the genocide in 1976, Oxfam was one of the first aid

agencies on the ground, providing clean water and sanitation,

and setting up an NGO Consortium of agencies that provided

assistance for two years.

> A year after the Tsunami, survivors in Lhoknga were still without running water. Our challenge was to find a source capable of supplying 100 litres a day to each person – and a way of getting it to their homes. The solution, in the hills around Lhoknga, was a river running towards the community.

We built a gravity system to channel water to the community using only a small dam, a gravel filter and 1.7km of pipe. The system is environmentally sustainable. Its low-tech design means local volunteers can maintain it without specialised training or tools – providing thousands of people with safe water to drink and wash with. Photo: Jim Holmes/Oxfam

Indonesia 2006:

Water provided.

At the heart of each emergency is a complex problem that needs solving with smart, strategic thinking. Our solutions are simple – so people of all ages can use them. Cost effective – so they can be delivered on a mass scale. And bespoke – so they can be modified by local communities. We’re always looking for new ways of doing things – often adapting ideas from the private sector. Here are some of our most innovative solutions.

The award-winning Oxfam bucketThe design for the Oxfam bucket won a Millennium Prize for innovation. Full, it holds 14 litres of water. The tap enables people to access water without removing the lid and risking contamination. And the rounded edges make it incredibly easy to clean.

Hygiene kitOur hygiene kits are bought locally rather than shipped from the UK (helping local markets), and tailored to regional communities. They include things like soap, sanitary products, bleach and water purification tablets. Simple, cheap solutions that are vital in preventing the spread of disease.

Water tankThe classic Oxfam water tank holds up to 90,000 litres of safe, clean water. Sent out flat-packed from our Bicester UK warehouse, the design is simple enough to be constructed by local communities in under three hours. The tap, below, delivers the water to accessible tap stands.

Solutionsto the world’s toughest problems.

Plastic jerry canCheap and available within hours, jerry cans like this can be a locally-sourced alternative to the Oxfam bucket. Turn the page to see them in action.

Latrine slabsIn the days after an emergency, sanitation is essential – and it’s vital we work with local people to find a solution. Get it wrong and the toilets won’t be used, and disease will spread. In South America, a sit-down toilet is a must, whereas in Asia, squat toilets are common. Even the colour of the latrine slab is important. Blue attracts tsetse flies. Green is a sacred colour to Islam. Ours are light brown, like this one.

Tap standOur tap stands are placed in makeshift camps – never more than 500 metres from any dwelling place – so people don’t have to walk through dangerous areas to get clean water.

Donkey-proof tapEven something as simple as a water tap has to be carefully considered. In Sudan, donkeys were drinking the fresh water, so our engineers went away and adapted the design. This is the new donkey-proof version.

Water testing kitIn emergencies, the water we source needs to be tested before it can be used. This kit has been designed to enable local communities to check whether the water is contaminated, and to make sure the chlorine level is safe for drinking.

Water PurifierThis simple solution helps ensure water is safe for drinking. It contains silver sand that removes harmful bacteria, and activated carbon that removes bad taste and odours. No boiling, no chemicals – only natural process.

> In Zimbabwe in early 2009, in a country already reeling from food shortages, a cholera outbreak threatened thousands of lives. Our rapid response team got there fast. In the town of Ngoni, we provided families with hygiene kits including 20 litre plastic jerry cans (like these), one kilogram of soap, water purification tablets, cotton wool and pamphlets on how to prevent cholera. Simple, brilliant, life-saving solutions. Photo: Caroline Gluck/Oxfam

“No British organisation has done more to make us aware of the sheer scale of human suffering and our duties to the poorest.”Rt Hon Gordon Brown MPPrime Minister

Years of experience and gritty ambition. Ingenious solutions and measurable results. It all adds up to one thing: a worldwide reputation for getting things done. We’re respected by well-known figures. Trusted by our corporate partners.

After seeing the devastating impact of the Tsunami, JCB offered their support. They ran a coupon campaign in national papers. For every coupon returned, they donated £10 to Oxfam. As a result, JCB donated more than £200,000 of machinery – enough for six JCBs to be sent directly to Indonesia, and two forklift trucks to our Bicester warehouse.

“We are pleased we have teamed up with Oxfam, the UK’s biggest charity shop, to help customers raise money for developing countries by recycling clothes they no longer need. It’s a triple win – it’s good for customers, good for people in developing countries and good for the environment.”

Sir Stuart Rose Chief Executive, Marks & Spencer

“I’m immensely proud of our ability to help people caught up in the most unimaginable situations. What we have achieved, over the years, is astounding. We know there are challenges ahead – particularly because of climate change. But with the generosity of our supporters, the expertise of our humanitarian personnel, and the passion, energy and determination of our partners around the world, we believe we can and will rise to them.”
