Oil Companies, Where Is The Money Going?


More than 60 percent of the world’s poorest people live in countries rich in natural resources—but they rarely share in the wealth. Too often, poor communities have no say in the extraction of resources from their land and receive little information about these projects. But oil, gas, and mining projects don’t have to add to poverty and powerlessness; in fact, they can help communities overcome these challenges.


Oxfam’s Right to Know Right to Decide campaign challenges international oil, gas, and mining companies to respect a community’s right to decide if or how they want oil, gas, and mining development to take place in their community, and their right to know about the impacts and benefits of these projects.

Charity Swearbox was born in the minds of James Dow and Jay Gelardi, two creative friends who met whilst working together who wanted to do something good with the ideas part of their brains.
The site was designed by James Dow and Robert Evans who runs the very talentedTelegramme studio, home of some very beautiful illustration.
Last but by no means least the site was developed by Rameet Chawla and his team atFueled in New York who put a huge amount of work into the project.
In the spirit of collaboration everyone came together to create something fun, exciting, new and importantly; good for the world.
