Oxfam has been working in Haiti since 1978. We have focused on supporting communities and local government in sustainable livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, good governance and humanitarian assistance. In response to the earthquake, Oxfam is providing life-saving water and sanitation, working closely with other organizations to ensure that assistance is well-coordinated. We are also supporting local organizations with which we have a long-term relationship to assess and respond to the humanitarian crisis in other affected areas
