“We are pleased to introduce the first cohort of Oxfam fellows to the world. These eight young people come from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences but have a common passion to build an equal world. The fellowship will provide them the space to express themselves, test their ideas and set them up for success as empathic leaders. I am personally excited to be part of their journey in becoming active citizens and powerful influencers of social change. Congratulations and all the best for the nine exciting months of learning.”

John Samuel, Regional Director
Oxfam in Asia

Oxfam International in Asia and Asia Centre have initiated a program to invest in a new generation of ethical, empathetic, and feminist leaders, committed to the cause of social justice and an equal future for all.

Chosen from 400+ applicants across 10 countries, 8 talented young fellows will spend 9 months tackling transformative projects like challenging gender norms, fighting fake news, empowering climate-hit communities and promoting policy advocacy.

They will build a network of young people in their countries, educate and empower them to claim civic space and work on social justice issues.
