9. 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!

10. BREAKING IT DOWN OAKTREE WORKS IN 3 WAYS: DIRECT IMPACT SOCIAL IMPACT POLIITICAL IMPACT

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.
