Better Health Care - China

• In Puding, a very poor and remote
• county in southwest China, more than
• 90 of the people suffer from fluorosis,
• a preventable yet irreversible disease
• that mottles the teeth brown and
• deteriorates bones, including the spine.
• Some people become so hunchbacked
• that they can no longer work at all.
• Oxfam has started health education
• and community projects in Puding,
• helping villagers prevent fluorosis and
• improve their health.

Fairer Social Policy Hong Kong

• Recently, the injustice of the low wages
• and long working hours of government-
• contract cleaners has aroused substantial
• public concern having a job does not
• necessarily mean one is not poor.
• Oxfam is supporting a local organization to
• protect the basic rights of these workers
• and to prevent exploitation. This
• organization is lobbying for policy change
• to effect long term positive change for all
• workers in Hong Kong.

Safe Water - Malawi

• In Chikwawa, the climate is so dry that the only
• source of water is underground. People used to
• dig wells, but their tools and techniques were
  so
• basic that the wells were always too shallow to
• supply enough water. Contamination was
• common , from insects or cow dung.
• In 2003, Oxfam started a community programme
• to help people build a water pump in Chikwawa
• that can reach down 10 or more meters. Now
• the water supply is more stable, and the quality
• safer for human consumption.

Sustainable Livelihood - India

• In Gahrwal, a mountainous part of
• northern India, land is barren,
• resources are few and even though they
• do outside manual labour for extra
• income, most people still do not have
• enough to eat for nine months of the
• year.
• Since joining an Oxfam-supported
• integrated project with fish ponds, bee
• hives, fruit trees and a grain mill,
• people in Gahrwal now have a better
• income, a better livelihood.

Helping the fight against poverty

• Since 1976, Oxfam Hong Kong has supported poverty
• alleviation and emergency relief projects in more
  than 60
• countries. Hundreds of thousands of poor people
  have
• been able to improve their livelihoods through
  the
• provision of basic facilities, basic education,
  healthcare,
• training, small loans, rehabilitation programmes
  and
• other community projects. However, there are
  still
• millions of people living in poverty, and they
  really need
• your support
