The Language Factory & Oxfam
The Language Factory is pleased to announce its support of
Oxfam and the amazing work it does throughout the world. Thanks to our clients,
we are proud to have been able to donate over £60,000 to the charity organisation
and its many worthwhile projects since 2005.
Over the last 4 years, we have made contributions to projects
in Rwanda, Tanzania and Brazil. More recently, we have been supporting Oxfam's work
in Malawi.
Seventy thousand people die of AIDS-related illnesses in Malawi
every year. Orphaned children, young adults and elderly people are left to support
their families and care for those who fall ill. This results in young people working
to grow food and look after homes instead of studying or doing paid work. If there is
not enough food grown, and no money available to buy it, the threat of starvation is
very real. Meanwhile, state health services are overwhelmed and cannot provide adequate
treatment.
Using a holistic approach, Oxfam is working to support families
affected by HIV and AIDS through training of home-based carers, prevention education,
providing people with new skills to earn a living and helping people to grow more food
resulting in higher levels of nutrition.
The donations The Language Factory makes to Oxfam, thanks to our
clients, help to fund the charity's vital work in a country so desperately in need of
sustainable assistance. To learn more about Oxfam's work in Malawi, visit their
