In August, ONE partnered with The Field Museum and hosted Sen. Durbin on a rally around the Water for All Act.

Recently, ONE again joined with The Field Museum to host the Millennium Challenge Corporation and spotlight their compacts that work on clean water in impoverished nations around the world. Most ONE members are very familiar with the MCC and how they work to partner with countries that are taking steps to fight corruption and show transparency and accountability in their own development.

This short video from the event highlights the great work that is being done in many countries. Check it out!
