In Indonesia, Oxfam's focus is on livelihoods, gender equality, fair trade, education and emergency work.
Latest: Sumatra earthquake
Dealing with disasters
Indonesia lies on volcanic fault lines and faces a range of natural hazards including tropical flooding, earthquakes and drought, in addition to persistent conflict.
- 255,000 lives lost to natural disasters and conflict over the last three years
- 1.4 million people displaced from their homes
How Oxfam is helping
We have a number of contingency plans to help us react quickly to emergency situations in Indonesia. We also run conflict-resolution projects in areas such as Aceh and Papua where armed separatist movements have forced people from their homes.
The floods took all my belongings, I had nothing left apart from what I was wearing. The hygiene kits [Oxfam gave us] are important because they could help prevent potential health hazards.
