"The Oaktree Foundation is an outstanding advocate for increasing awareness among young people in Australia and Overseas of development challenges. Its role in mobilising young people to tackle poverty - and to inspire them to believe that they can make a difference - is commendable."
The Honourable Kevin Rudd MP
Foreign Minister of Australia
Who is Oaktree?
The Oaktree Foundation is one of Australia's fastest growing and most dynamic international aid and development organisations. Entirely run by young volunteers under the age of 26, Oaktree has 65,000 members around Australia and has lead some of Australia's biggest poverty campaigns - including the 2006 MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Concert in Melbourne, and the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Roadtrip campaigns in 2007 & 2010 which succeeded in securing a bipartisan commitment to increasing foreign aid by $4.3 billion.
Oaktree sees education as the key to enabling the worlds' poorest individuals and communities to lift themselves out of poverty. As a result Oaktree works across the Asia Pacific region - in places like East Timor, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea - to build schools, train teachers, provide scholarships so impoverished children can attend school and much more.
Achievements
Oaktree has had some notable achievements either individually or part of a coalition with other organisations. These include but are not limited to:
- In Australia, we have more than 85,000 members all of whom are playing a role in fighting to end extreme poverty.
- We've been recognized internationally for our high impact campaigning and incredible achievements. In 2010 we were awarded the international youth leadership award for MDG action by the United Nations in New York, and in 2007 we were presented with the prestigious ‘Free Your Mind' award at the MTV Music Awards.
- We were the leaders behind the 2006 MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Concert in Melbourne, the 2007 MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY ZEROSEVEN Road Trip, the 2008 End Child Slavery Campaign and the 2010 MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Road Trip, which culminated in the largest poverty focused lobby day in Australia's history.
- Our revolutionary fundraising and awareness campaign Live Below the Line has raised over $2 million for fighting poverty in under 18 months, is backed by Hugh Jackman and has been launched internationall in the US and the UK through our partners at the Global Poverty Project.
- We've raised over $3.5 million to provide education to some of the most
- Disadvantaged communities in the world - including building schools in East Timor, teacher training in Papua New Guinea, vocational training for freed slaves in Ghana and HIV/Aids education in South Africa.
