Please do not let the essential work of Oxfam be neglected in Brynania! We will not be able to continue or develop our critical work in this region without funding! For this reason we calling out to international donors for a total amount of USA 450,000. This will secure our presence and work in the country for the coming month in our current regions (200,000) and to expand our work in these areas.

This document is a report on OXFAM activities for the Month of May in our sites located in Mcgilldishu and Camp 8.
Despite Oxfam having successfully delivered USD 105,000 in Mcgilldishu and USD 75,000 in Camp 8 in Brynania over the past three months, the organization is suffering greatly from lack of consistent donor funds. Oxfam is extremely grateful to the donors who have contributed essential funds to our work in the fragile country, however the organization was not able to effectively extend its programs as a result of these having dropped dramatically in the past month.
The national and international donor community has not responded to Oxfam's request for funds. On top of not running its infrastructure at top efficiency, because Oxfam has received no addition financial support last month, it has neither been able to implement the new programs it had designed.
Oxfam has built a small infrastructure in Biku to deliver urgent supplies as well as create a regional space focusing on longer-term development and recovery after the conflict. Oxfam has the potential of implementing the programs in the key areas of agricultural projects, workforce training, as well as establishing schools and rehabilitation centers if it is supported by on-going funds. Right now its pure existence is at stake due to this international neglect.
Oxfam needs the international community’s support to both CONTINUE RUNNING ITS OPERATIONS as well as EXPAND ITS OPERATIONS IN QUANTITY AND GEOGRAPHICALLY.
Oxfam will be forced to close its essential operations within these areas if it does not receive support from the international donor community. In this critical time of peace Oxfam believes that the window of opportunity to establish peace and stability in the region has never been greater. This is a crucial time for aid agencies in Brynania, yet Oxfam, along with many of its aid partners, will not able to continue their work without greater donor support, in the form of either one-off or monthly donations.
Oxfam operations in the month of May were as follows.
Area | Beneficiaries | Infrastructure | Monthly cost |
Mcgilldishu | 16,500 | Medium | 10,000 |
Camp 8 | 7, 600 | Medium | 10,000 |
Biku | Under construction in May. |
At the beginning of May, Oxfam had received USD 130,000 from the international donor community (private and public). 80,000 was used in Mcgilldisu alone and 50,000 in Camp 8.
Mcgilldishu: Oxfam spent 90,000 in this site in May. It cost 10,000 from our own budget to maintain that facility (that we had already established in April 2011) and other expenses were distributed over our different programs:
-Oxfam established a second medical emergency center. The combined costs of running these 2 centers were of USD 40,000. Considering that it cost Oxfam 5-10 dollars per patient, we were able to deliver our services to 4,000 to 8,000 people (averagely 6,000 people).
-Our budget limited us to only maintaining 2 mobile health units which cost us USD 10,000 each (USD 20, 000 in total). We changed the mandate of 2 emergency unit in response to the heightened violence. We had to disable the 3rd vaccination and outreach unit due to financial constraints. We had hoped to establish 2 extra mobile health units but due to a lack of renewed funding this was not possible either. In total, our 2 mobile heath units were able to reach 4,000 people (USD 5 per person).
-The remaining 20,000 were used to run the food and water distribution centers. Each person received food and water for the approximate cost of USD3. The beneficiaries were more than 6,500 people.
Oxfam covered the transportation and delivery costs (USD 10,000) to ensure the donors’ money, USD 80,000 in this site, went right to the population relief effort.
In Mcgilldishu, Oxfam was able to deliver services to 16,500 people (2,75% of the total Mcgilldishu population).
Camp 8: Oxfam spent USD 50,000 in total in this site in May 2011. It cost us USD 10,000 from our own budget to maintain the infrastructure and other expenses were distributed over different programs:
-Oxfam spent USD 25,000 on providing shelter. Oxfam spent USD 11,500 on uber houses that cost USD 90 and host 6 people. It spent 13,500 on tents that costs USD 25 and host 4 people. In total we provided shelter for 2,570 people.
-The other USD 20,000 was spent on 1 emergency clinic (USD 10,000) and 2 vaccination and outreach units (5,000 each). This medical effort reached in total 3,335 people people.
-The remaining USD 5,000 was used to support the WFP food and water delivery, reaching 1, 667 people.
During May in Camp 8, Oxfam was able to provide services for a total of 7, 600 people.
Oxfam present operations in the month of June are as follows.

Camp 8 | 5,005 | Medium | 10,000 |
Biku | 5, 665 | Small | 5,000 |
Mcgilldishu operations are the same May (USD 80,000 not withstanding maintenance costs), reaching 16, 500 people.
Camp 8: because the conditions were highly improving, Oxfam reduced its aid delivery and spent USD 25,000 and USD 10,000 on maintenance costs.
- USD 20,000 was spent our 1 emergency clinic (USD 10,000) and 2 vaccination and outreach units (5,000 each). This medical effort reached in total 3,335 people people.
-The remaining USD 5,000 was used to support the WFP food and water delivery, reaching 1, 667 people.
In June, Oxfam reached 5,005 people in Camp 8.
Biku: due to lack of funding, Oxfam restrained itself to strict emergency relief in Biku and only spent USD 25, 000 and spent USD 10,000 on maintenance costs.
- USD 15,000 was spent on the establishment of 1 emergency clinic (USD 10,000) and 1 vaccination and outreach units (5,000 each). This medical effort reached in total 2, 335.
-The remaining USD 10,000 was used to establish 2 food and water delivery centers. Considering the cost of USD 3 per person, this effort reached 3, 330 people.
