I am delighted to inform you that the Oxfam Hong Kong family is extending its presence to Macau, where we have officially registered as a non-profit organisation. Our first Oxfam Macau Supporters Gathering was held on 17 March, providing an opportunity for people to meet us and learn more about our poverty alleviation work throughout the world. On 26 and 27 May, we will hold an Oxfam Rice sale in Macau to raise funds for projects in Mainland China. It is just one of many activities we have planned to provide opportunities for caring people like you to help us make a difference in poor people’s lives.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Oxfam Hong Kong’s work in Mainland China. We truly want to THANK YOU for your support, which has helped lift millions of people out of poverty. However, more than 120 million people in China still live below the nation’s poverty line (annual income of 2,300 Yuan per person). A little support from each one of us can set them on the path towards self-reliance. This year, the theme of the Oxfam China Development Fund Campaign is “Food is Missing”. You can support us by:

Buying a bag of Oxfam Rice at any of our rice stalls set up around Hong Kong during the weekends of 12 and 13 May, or 19 and 20 May

Tuning into TVB Jade on Saturday, 12 May, at 11 pm for a look at Oxfam’s work in China

Visiting our website at www.oxfam.org.hk/en/oxfamricesale.aspx to find out about Oxfam’s projects in Mainland China and to learn how your donations help

Since last year, we have been keeping you informed about the ongoing food crisis in East Africa, where Oxfam is assisting more than 2.9 million people. Meanwhile, more than 1.2 million people in West Africa are also facing a food crisis due to severe drought. To help prevent the crisis from escalating, Oxfam is working with affected communities to bolster their livelihoods and strengthen their capacity to cope with disaster.

Together, we can work towards ending chronic hunger in West Africa. Together, we can work towards a world without poverty and injustice.

Thank you.

The degradation of their land poses a serious threat to the livelihoods of farmers in remote mountainous communities in western Guizhou. By introducing ecological farming practices, Oxfam Hong Kong is assisting people in these communities to sustain their livelihoods and rise above poverty.

Food is Missing!

Better farming, Better environment, Better lifeWaterMawo Village has plenty of rainfall, but the water was not stored or accessed underground. Oxfam has supported residents to build their own water storage tank for household use, as well as four larger ones for community use, mainly for irrigation. Water is sufficient now.

FoodIt is easier to farm flat land, and Oxfam has provided seedlings, tools and agricultural training to increase the quality and quantity of people’s crops. With better harvests from the flat land, farmers can improve their food supply and can stop farming the rocky land, which will prevent erosion.

Land The plan for the rocky land is to grow perennials and fruit trees. This will strengthen the slopes, bring back the soil, and prevent erosion. People in Mawo will have a better livelihood.

Oxfam Hong Kong has supported De-an’s family and many more to improve their lives over the last 25 years

Harvest time is supposed to be a happy time, but for the people of Mawo, a Miao community in Guizhou Province, it can be a huge disappointment. Ears of corn are often stunted, many kernels are missing, and there has been severe hardship.

The Miao call their fields kala-di, or rocky land with very thin soil, and about 20% of all the land in Guizhou is kala-di: severely eroded and unable to yield healthy crops. Crops here are a third of what they could be. Even though land in Mawo produces little, they get as much food as they can. The over-cultivation leads to even more severe erosion.

Impoverished and hungry, farmers in Mawo have had to borrow money to buy the food they cannot grow. They work at odd jobs for cash, which might be enough to repay their loans. Income is about 1,200 Yuan a year, far lower than China’s poverty line of 2,300 Yuan.

Chronic Food InsecurityThe Yang family has a tiny piece of land in Mawo, mostly kala-di. Their last harvest only brought food for a few months, so they borrowed to buy maize and pickled vegetables, which is not very nutritious, especially for the growing children. Plain noodles is what Tao, the eldest daughter, 13, eats every day at school. And De-an, the father, 40, has a hearing disability, so his options for work are limited. The family is eager to improve their lives, but for years, they have had no opportunities to make any change. When Oxfam and a local organisation began an environment and livelihood programme in Mawo, the Yang family quickly signed up.

De-an and his wife use every bit of land they can to grow their food

Farmers only have tiny harvests from such rocky earth

De-an and other farmers have learned that covering the soil with a biodegradable plastic sheet helps preserve soil moisture and improves planting conditions

Oxfam supported this new water tank

25 Years - Oxfam in Mainland ChinaThe year 2012 marks the 25th year of Oxfam Hong Kong’s programmes in Mainland China, one of the first international development organisations to work in the country.

The 2,000 initiatives range from rural and urban livelihood to small-scale infrastructure projects, microcredit, training, gender rights, advocacy, capacity building and more. To date, the Oxfam China Development Fund has allocated more than HK$700 million to programmes in China.

Oxfam Hong Kong has worked in 70 countries, but we are also active right here at home. We would like to invite you to visit the Concerning CSSA and Low Income Alliance, one of many local organisations we support.

The Concerning CSSA and Low Income Alliance was established in 1998; Oxfam Hong Kong has been supporting its anti-poverty advocacy since 2004. The Alliance has been paying close attention to Hong Kong’s Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) policies, as well as the livelihoods of low-income families, for many years. In the past few years, inflation and global food prices have risen and rents for private housing (including sub-divided units and cubicle apartments) have soared. In order to cope with these rising costs, low-income families have had to adopt strategies to reduce their daily expenses. Thus, the Concerning CSSA and Low Income Alliance is encouraging the government to formulate new policies to relieve the pressure on low-income and CSSA families.

Do you think it’s true that there is no poverty in Hong Kong?

Do you know that even in a prosperous city like ours, many families struggle to make ends meet? Do you know what their lives are like?

“Just Bite?” presents a good opportunity for you and your children to learn more about the lives of poor people in Hong Kong.

Date : 14 July, 2012 Venue : Oxfam Hong Kong Interactive Education Centre, 9/F China United Centre, 28 Marble Road, North PointTime : 2:30 to 4:30 pmLanguage : Cantonese For parents and their children aged 9 and over Please arrive at 2:20pmParticipants will be asked to sit on the floor, please remove your shoes before entering the Centre.

A “JUST Bite?” street performance in Causeway Bay last September

We invite you to join us in taking action in three areas:

Growing betterWe can and must invest in new forms of agriculture, so that

over one billion small-scale food producers on our planet, many of them women, are no longer starved of the resources they need to grow enough food for themselves and their communities.

Sharing betterWe can and must transform how we govern the food system

– managing markets to prevent food crises, stopping corporate abuses of power, improving flawed policies at global and national levels, and empowering families and communities to respond to shocks and disasters. Also, a consensus should be built among governments concerning their fair share of emission cuts to prevent catastrophic levels of global warming and to help affected communities in developing regions adapt to climate change.

Living betterWe can and must build a new prosperity, with better ways of

doing business, organising our economies and living our lives. For future generations and human progress, we must ensure an ecological future rich in shared resources, safe from the risks of a changing climate, with more equal and well-balanced systems and opportunities.

Big change is achieved through small steps. Every choice and decision we make can have a positive impact on the world. Join the movement. Let’s grow a better way.

Why do hard-working farmers still go hungry?It is not because there isn’t enough food, but because of deep imbalances in the way resources are controlled that millions of small-scale food producers are unable to support and feed their own families and communities.

Food is a basic human need and rightBy 2050, there will be nine billion people on the planet. Some of the ways we grow food today are increasing inequality and using up our natural resources – the fertile land, stable climate and fresh water on which we all rely. Extreme weather, rising prices and failing production threaten to push even more people back into hunger.

What can we do to bring change?Every time we choose food that is produced in a fair and sustainable way, every time we cut our environmental footprint, every time we ask governments and companies to behave responsibly, and every time we ourselves think and act responsibly, we are helping to make good things grow. Many big and small steps are needed to bring about a more equitable global system.

This year, Oxfam Hong Kong is working with the 14 members of the international confederation of Oxfam on a global food justice campaign called GROW. Through our research, advocacy and campaigns, we are inviting individuals and groups from villages and cities, as well as governments, powerful companies and global forums like the United Nations Climate Summit, to share ideas on climate change adaptation, corporate social responsibility and protection of farmers’ access to water.

We city people do not have to grow our own food – our lives are entirely dependent on the labour of farmers. 500 million small-scale farms around the world are helping to put food on the plates of nearly one third of humanity. Ironically, 80 per cent of those who go hungry are small-scale food producers, such as farmers, fishers, herders and labourers, especially women. As living standards improve in many parts of the world, there are still some 925 million people worldwide that go to bed hungry every night. Although this figure is lower than that during the 2008 global food crisis, it is significantly higher than in the 1990s.

In some regions, women produce up to 80 per cent of the food. Within families, when food is scarce, women are usually the first to lower their food intake

Gansu, in the northwest, is one of the driest places on earth and one of the poorest provinces in China. For years, little rain has fallen across huge tracts of northwest China, yet millions of people, and millions more plants and livestock, live in this region. In recent years, drought has become increasingly severe, exacerbated by climate change. To face this challenge, with the support of Oxfam Hong Kong, farmers are switching to drought-resistant crops such as alfalfa, shown in picture, which is nutritious, prevents soil erosion and improves the environment.

If smallholder farmers have access to land and other natural resources required to grow food, they can realise their potential to feed themselves and their communities. The Zimbabwean farmers in the photo just received seeds and fertiliser from Oxfam and are planting their first crop of maize.

Amos (in the white shirt) said: “If you come back in one year, I’ll show you this plot and you’ll see what has happened here. You’ll be able to see all the improvements. When we can sell our crops, we not only feed ourselves but also help our neighbours, because there are some people who don’t have enough. There are people’s mothers and fathers who are not able to do this farming and we need to help them too. Hunger is really bad. If you see someone suffering while you are better off it hurts. It doesn’t matter where anyone is from, you can’t just see someone suffering.”

The region with the most undernourished people continues to be Asia and the Pacific with 578 million (FAO, 2010)

Working against Poverty in Your Own WayA mother naturally loves and cares for her children unconditionally. Yet it takes a bigger heart to care about poor children in other parts of the world. The online social network group, “I love mama”, organised by a group of young mothers, shares tips on raising children and encourages mothers to work against poverty for Oxfam Hong Kong. In May last year, “I love mama” organised a Mother’s Day Charity Walkathon with 574 participants, which surpassed the record in the Guinness Book of Records and raised nearly HK$40,000 for Oxfam Hong Kong. In addition, the group donated to Oxfam HK$1 for each successful purchase through the “I love mama” online shopping platform.

Ginny Tse, a spokesperson for “I love mama”, said, “We organised ‘I love mama’ not just because we wish to provide a platform for exchanging views and support for mothers, we also would like to unite the power of all mothers to help the poor all over the world, to help them stand on their own and put an end to poverty.”

Wedding Favours – Oxfam Unwrapped

More Than 20 Years of Continuous Support to Oxfam Hong KongIn 1984 to 1985, when a great famine hit Ethiopia, the world responded. Maggie Young recalls, “The media alerted me to the disaster. I was shocked and saddened by the scenes. Then an idea flashed into my mind – we can make a difference if we act now.” Maggie immediately responded to Oxfam Hong Kong's appeal by making a monthly donation. Since then, Maggie has remained a committed supporter of Oxfam’s poverty alleviation work for more than 20 years.

Maggie explained why she has continued her commitment to Oxfam Hong Kong, “It began with simply wanting to help people in need. Then gradually, I realised that there are still many people living in poverty, struggling to get by. There are also many issues affecting the world that need to be addressed. So I hope that by continuing my support to Oxfam I can change the world to a better place.”

Maggie learned about Oxfam’s work through Oxfam Express, our newsletter and email correspondence. Last year she decided it was time to see Oxfam’s projects first-hand. So she joined a trip to Gansu with seven other donors. The trip deepened her understanding of Oxfam’s poverty alleviation work. “I am pleased to see that Oxfam has done a good job in building basic infrastructure for poor communities. We visited a woman who runs a small grocery shop in a remote village. She told us that the livelihoods of her family have improved and her son has got married. Now, she has more leisure time for recreational activities. Her contented smile touched me. Happiness comes from being able to help others help themselves,” says Maggie.

As a long-time supporter, Maggie has some suggestions for Oxfam Hong Kong. “I hope that Oxfam will do more advocacy work such as for gender equality. This is not easy and it will take some time before any impact can been seen, but it is worth doing!”

Every couple would like their Big Day to be special and unique.

Oxfam Unwrapped offers a truly unique way of saying thanks to your guests, and sharing your joy with people who are less fortunate. Give a gift that gives twice!

“We didn’t keep the favours from any of the wedding banquets we have attended. But two years ago, at a friend’s wedding party we received an Oxfam Unwrapped gift as the wedding favour. It was a meaningful gift that can help others, so we also decided to use Oxfam Unwrapped at our wedding,” Micki & Marcus said.

Oxfam Unwrapped is a unique and meaningful wedding favour.For more details, please visit: www.oxfamunwrapped.org.hk
