About Oxfam Hong Kong
Oxfam Hong Kong is an independent international development and humanitarian organisation working against poverty and related injustice. We recognise that much poverty is caused by injustice and that poverty alleviation requires economic, social and structural change. We work with people facing poverty and with partner organisations on development, humanitarian, policy advocacy and public education programmes.
Oxfam Hong Kong’s work builds on our local under-standing and identity and focuses on Southeast Asia and China, including Hong Kong. We also support poverty alleviation and humanitarian activities in other parts of Asia and Africa, and wherever we feel we can make the most valuable difference. Oxfam Hong Kong works with other members of Oxfam International on international campaigns and programmes supporting people’s right to development.
Oxfam Hong Kong envisions a world free of poverty where women and men enjoy well-being and rights.

About the 'Teach the teacher' educational project in Gansu and Qinghai Provinces, China
The project trains teachers in multi-level teaching; the technique helps in a classroom where students are of varying ages and abilities. A great way to make a difference for students in small school houses across rural China.
The project has been running for one year already and will last until 2010. The objective is to build the capacity of these teachers in poverty ridden area so that they could provide better education for the students. This is a commitment for 130 schools and 170 teachers. With your support the project can offer better training and be extended to the next phase to include more schools.
"Oxfam's training has helped me to update my education theory and practice, changing the way I have used for teaching over the past 20 years. My students learn better now." - Zhen Zhi Qiang, a teacher in Gansu, China.
