OUR ACHIEVEMENTS:The 2006 MakePovertyHistory Concert, featuring international artists such as Bono and Pearl Jam
The Zero Seven Roadtrip in 2007.

The Make Poverty History Roadtrip 2010 – which mobilised hundreds of young people and reached millions of Australians with our message that extreme poverty can be ended in our lifetime.

AND THE JOURNEY HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN…
OUR THEORY OF CHANGE:How we create impact in the fight to end poverty
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO END EXTREME POVERTY?
WHAT CAN OAKTREE UNIQUELY CONTRIBUTE?
A MOVEMENT!
BREAKING IT DOWNOAKTREE WORKS IN 3 WAYS:
DIRECT IMPACT
SOCIAL IMPACT
POLIITICAL IMPACT
DIRECT IMPACT
We fundraise to work with local organisations that directly tackle poverty overseas. Education is the most
powerful tool to help break the poverty cycle for our peers across the Asia-Pacific. So that one day soon, they’ll lift their communities out of extreme poverty
too.
SOCIAL IMPACT
We raise awareness about extreme poverty
in Australia because
movements need widespread public
support. Compelling
experiences and storytelling helps us educate and
inspire.
POLITICAL IMPACT
We influence policy change by ensuring Australia’s leaders take action to end poverty.
Just like us, our decision makers are human. We aim to
connect them with the diversity of our movement to
influence policy change.
OAKTREE IN 2015
OUR WORK IN AUSTRALIA AND OVERSEAS :
One of Australia’s fastest growing fundraising campaigns. Thousands of Australians take the challenge to live on $2 a day for 5 days – gaining insight into the lives of those living in extreme poverty, raising money for the projects we support across the region and starting conversations about the issue

One of our brand new initiatives, Oaktree Community Leaders are leading the movement to end poverty. They design strategy, and grow our campaigns. Community Leaders will have access to the best training opportunities Oaktree has ever offered – online and offline. Community Leaders do the hard yet impactful work of transforming public attitudes, bringing more people into the movement.
Community Leaders
We work in partnership with local organisations in East Timor, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. We help fund initiatives that focus on youth, education and empowerment – projects that enable our peers to create change in their own lives. More on our international engagement in Part 2!
