ONE is a global advocacy and campaigning organization backed by more than 2 million people from around the world dedicated to fighting extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.
ONE works closely with policy experts, African leaders, and anti-poverty activists to mobilize public opinion in support of proven methods for tackling poverty. ONE holds world leaders to account for the commitments they've made to fight extreme poverty, and campaigns for better development policies, more effective aid and trade reform. ONE also supports greater democracy, accountability and transparency to ensure policies to beat poverty are implemented effectively. At ONE, we believe the fight against poverty is not about charity, but about justice and equality.
