Story
The issue is:
Lack of education and health care robs millions of people in developing countries of their futures.
Education, especially for girls, massively improves children's chances of escaping poverty, but poverty is the main reason why they miss school. Many parents cannot afford the fees, books and uniforms, and many communities do not have the money to run a school.
It's a similar story with health care. Fees are too high, hospitals and clinics are too few, many do not have the medicine people need, and there's a lack of medical staff. Millions of people face the stark choice between low-quality care or none at all. It means unnecessary suffering and ever-deepening poverty, as illness affects people's ability to work.
Campaigning for change!!
Oxfam help people build and equip schools, train teachers to staff them and fight against attitudes and beliefs that prevent girls from completing their education.
Oxfam campaign internationally to make cheaper and better medicines available in developing countries, and for their governments to invest in health services, supported by rich countries.The Health and Education campaign looks to provide 6 million more health workers and teachers and to make sure that, by 2015, every child has the chance of a good education. Making education for all a reality would give a whole generation the skills they need to beat poverty.
