Getting together for Oxfam funds

OXFAM is calling on the people of Clare to join hundreds of others all over Ireland by hosting an Oxfam Get Together for International Women’s Day on March 8 and help raise money to support women living in poverty worldwide.
An Oxfam Get Together can be anything from a coffee morning to a movie night or even a karaoke night. At the heart of the idea is to get together with friends, family and colleagues and do something that you love – while raising money for Oxfam’s work. And if Friday, March 8 doesn’t suit you, simply pick a date that does.
Speaking about her recent trip to Tanzania, Sharon Corr, Oxfam Ireland ambassador and judge on RTÉ’s The Voice of Ireland, explains, “Meeting some of the women who have benefited from Oxfam’s work in Tanzania was truly inspiring. The majority of people living in poverty are women. It’s fantastic to see how Oxfam can help women reclaim their rights and make their voices heard; from supporting female farmers to tackling domestic violence.
“An Oxfam Get Together is simple. Just organise something fun with the people you love spending time with – and help raise vital funds that will transform the lives of women affected by poverty and injustice around the world.”
Get Together raises money for Oxfam’s work transforming the lives of women around the world who are experiencing poverty, discrimination, domestic violence and a lack of education. Oxfam helps women reclaim their rights and make their voices heard; from helping girls access schools in Uganda to supporting women farmers in Tanzania to become entrepreneurs and provide for their families.
