ONE volunteers in action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, ONE set an ambitious goal: supporting the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria to save 20 million lives between 2023 and 2025. Our Global Activists rallied behind this cause, undertaking various activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Canada, Activists actively collaborated with local drag artists and participated in Pride festivals to raise awareness of the Global Fund, and participated in over 40 virtual meetings with Members of Parliament to push for a renewed canadian commitment. . Similarly, Activists in France participated in actions asking President Macron to pledge a 30% increase. In Brussels, Activists stormed the European Parliament, delivering messages to over 200 MEPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists in the Netherlands joined a stunt, engaged with parliamentarians and mobilized the public. In the United States, activists delivered handwritten letters to congressional offices nationwide and staged a striking stunt highlighting the mosquito as the world\u2019s deadliest animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Kenya, and Ethiopia, activists took part in digital actions and spoke at events, applying crucial pressure that contributed to the overall outcome. UK activists delivered a booklet showcasing the Global Fund, featuring personalized messages from constituents to all 650 MPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome? The Activists\u2019 efforts, alongside others, helped raise an impressive $15.7 billion to save lives affected by AIDS, TB, and Malaria in the next three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob, Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, it\u2019s been one of most enriching and inspiring experiences of my life. ONE is driven by a fundamental commitment to justice and equity on a global scale. Our strengths-based engagements such as meeting with MPs, speaking at federal committees, consulting on education and training modules, and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Andrew, USA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have always yearned to be a part of a global advocacy group that sees all people as equal. After meeting with the ONE team in Indianapolis, I was convinced that there\u2019s no better place to join the fight than ONE. Walking on Capitol Hill to meet with Congress is one moment that I can never forget!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hannah, Nigeria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since joining in 2020 I aim to amplify my voice, hold my leaders accountable and influence policies by lobbying decision-makers who have the power to promote social justice and reduce inequalities. As a ONE activist, I\u2019ve been able to channel my voice rightly by taking part in global campaigns, signing petitions and mobilising youths for grassroots advocacy in my community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lilla, France<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having personally experienced injustice and having witnessed it too often pushed me to act for the preservation of human right. I continue to do so on a daily basis as a French Youth Ambassador for ONE. The concretisation of my ambition is rooted in my motivation to do my best to make the world a better place at my level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bruna, Belgium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am a Youth Ambassador in Belgium. I was born in a country where poverty and inequality are always on the rise, and since I was a child I understood that people have different opportunities depending on where they live.The Youth Ambassadors Programme is a space where I engage with incredible people and learn how to turn ideas into actions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rogers, Kenya<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I became ONE Champion in 2020, since this was a good platform to advocate for meaningful youth engagement. As ONE Champion, I have engaged decision-makers, including National leaders, on matters affecting young people, such as unemployment, education, health, and leadership. ONE Champion is an excellent platform to ensure voices of young people are included in policy spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
