A doctor when you need one. Medicines you can afford. Clean water to drink and enough food to keep you healthy. Not much to ask, you might think. Yet millions of people are going without these basic things, every single day. And the price? Preventable illness, and early death, on a scale impossible to imagine. We’re working hard to get free health care – for everyone. Oxfam believes every child has the right to a free, good-quality primary education. Why? Because school helps children develop the skills they need to make themselves heard in the world, to make positive changes in their lives, and finally break free from poverty. Understanding the enormous challenge of getting every child a primary education, Oxfam works in different ways, at different levels, with different allies, in a broad worldwide programme. Sometimes we help people buy bricks and mortar to build a school, and then equip it. Or we might support people as they demand from governments what is rightfully theirs.
