 “We’re concerned about providing safe water, which is urgent in all these countries, and about preventing the spread of disease.  For children, the next few days will be the most critical.”

Oxfam International is a confederation of 12 organizations working together with over 3000 partners in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty, suffering and injustice.

With many of the causes of poverty global in nature, the 12 affiliate members of Oxfam International believe they can achieve greater impact through their collective efforts.

In response to the Tsunami:  “Oxfam today sent 27 tons of emergency aid equipment to east Asia and called on the international community to support the UN in leading the response to the crisis which has so far claimed tens of thousands of lives.”

http://www.usaid.gov/ USAID USAID's history goes back to the Marshall Plan reconstruction of Europe after World War Two and the Truman Administration's Point Four Program. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed the Foreign Assistance Act into law and created by executive order USAID.

Since that time, USAID has been the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.
