Supporting Oxfam means giving people like Liteini Kolo a chance to earn a new income. Liteini collects and sells coconuts to Oxfam’s partner Tonga National Youth Congress. They employ people to turn Liteini’s coconuts into @heilalavanilla Virgin Coconut Oil, which is sold in Countdown stores across NZ. This new income is helping communities in Tonga thrive.

An Oxfam-supported coconut oil project is flourishing in Tonga, supporting jobs and providing new incomes and opportunities for local families and youth. Support from generous Kiwis has enabled us to provide coconut driers, oil presses, drying sheets and other equipment to extract oil from dried coconuts. The resulting virgin coconut oil is sold by @heilalavanilla across Aotearoa.

A forgotten crisis: #Sahrawi. An entire generation in the heart of the Sahara desert have never experienced anything other than life as a refugee. Fahda Bachir Mohamed, 27 lives in a camp south west of Algeria. It’s a remote, harsh environment, subject to extreme temperatures, and her community remain heavily dependent on humanitarian aid. These camps were set up 40 years ago. #refugee #humanitarian #aid #crisis #Sahel #Sahara #displaced #oxfam
