Oxfam are one of the world's best known charities working to fight against poverty wherever it occurs. Their current mid year appeal focuses on the stone quarry workers in West India who are one of the most disadvantaged groups in the world today. The stone quarry workers are mainly women, who work in blistering heat for twelve hours a day, six days a week, breaking down metre square rocks with a heavy sledgehammer.
