The Gates Foundation Presents: Living Proof
We’re happy to announce that today the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is launching the Living Proof Project: U.S. Investments in Global Health are Working. Living Proof is a multi-year awareness campaign designed to highlight the extraordinary success of the U.S. government’s efforts to improve health around the world.
We often hear about all the problems and crises confronting developing countries at any given moment. But at ONE, we try to emphasize all the great progress that’s been made in fighting extreme poverty and global disease. The Living Proof Project is very much in that spirit.
According to the Gates Foundation:
The Living Proof Project will show that U.S-supported initiatives to fight malaria, AIDS, and other diseases are saving and improving the lives of millions of people in poor and developing countries – and as a result, empowering them to lead more productive lives. The campaign kicked off today with a new web site and advertisements in Washington, DC that highlight compelling success stories in global health.
Check out this terrific videos produced by the Gates Foundation that help explain the idea behind the Living Proof Project:
