Oxfam Italia

Overview

The name “Oxfam” comes from the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, founded in Britain in 1942. The group campaigned for food supplies to be sent through an allied naval blockade to starving women and children in enemy-occupied Greece during the Second World War.
Oxfam Italia joined the Oxfam international confederation in 2010 and was born from the experience of Ucodep, an Italian non-governmental organization that for over 30 years has committed itself with passion and professionalism to improve the living conditions of thousands of poor people in the world, giving them the power and the energy to build one's own future, to control and direct one's life, to exercise one's own rights.
