Oxfam International: Oxfam International was formed in 1995 by a group of independent non-governmental organizations. Their aim was to work together for greater impact on the international stage to reduce poverty and injustice. Oxfam does not only produce research on poverty, and initiate development projects, but advocates for the poor on a global scale.
