WHAT IS   OXJAM?

OXJAM started in the UK in 2006 and since then, more than 50,000 musicians have played to more than a million people at thousands of venues, profiling the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Fatboy Slim, Hot Chip and many, many more.

​

OXJAM is the newest kid on the music block.

Just arriving on Aussie shores, OXJAM is a month-long party (which we're extending for the greater good!) against poverty where music lovers from all over the country curate their own pumping gigs and party their pants off – all for good. And the best bit? Every dollar raised at OXJAM is going directly to help fight global poverty.

 

The first ever Aussie OXJAM hit our shores in 2015 and the response was amazing. There were some seriously wicked parties and very talented musicians gracing the OXJAM stages. And they couldn’t have done it without the hundreds of backyard parties, jam sessions, rooftop gigs and garage bands.

Where does your money go?

 

The money you raise goes towards Oxfam Australia’s life changing work around the world. You can choose which area of our work your funding goes towards, or alternatively you can let us decide. When you partner with Oxfam you partner with people who are fighting for the kind of rights that people in Australia can take for granted.

 

Right to Water

Every human being should have access to clean water. In impoverished communities around the world, you’re helping to kick-start water and hygiene committees, providing individuals with skills and training to lead healthy lives free from water-borne disease and illness.

 

Right To Safety

Every human being has a right to live in safety. When an emergency hits, you’re providing people with the assistance they need to survive – clean water, hygiene facilities, food, health and nutrition advice and shelter.

 

Right to Equality

Every human being should be born equal. You’re helping women all over the world to achieve equal rights, empowering both men and women through our gender equality programs to eliminate violence against women, and secure fair wages and working conditions for all.
