Behind the stats and figures that demonstrate Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance’s success at making the world a healthier, safer place for everyone are the people. As part of our campaign to support Gavi’s third replenishment this year, we worked with five Nigerian artists to illustrate the doctors, nurses, community health workers, educators, technicians, parents, and children who all play critical roles in Gavi’s story of success. Using photographs of health workers and families provided by Gavi, each artist used their...
At ONE, we strive to build a better world for everyone, everywhere by fighting to end extreme poverty and preventable disease. We’ve spent nearly two decades campaigning for progress by advocating for access to education, gender equality and connectivity, the elimination of gender-based violence, investment into energy and agriculture, and, of course, health. In recent months, it’s become painfully clear how critical good global health and strong health systems are to our collective ability to live safe and productive lives....
COVID-19 is a global pandemic that requires a global response to smother its ever-increasing reach. In the wake of its spread though, ONE staff have been awed to witness the incredible acts of humanity taking place to protect those most in need and to help flatten the curve. Across the globe, people are banding together in solidarity to support the heroes on the frontlines and do their parts to stop the spread. We put an open call out to our...
COVID-19 is having severe effects on high- and low-income countries alike. But there’s fear about what impact the virus could have in lower income countries that may be less equipped to tackle the pandemic. As of 6 April, there were 1,879 confirmed cases in low-income countries globally, but that number is likely an underestimation. To help keep people living in lower income countries healthy and safe, major global health organisations are stepping up their efforts to fight the spread of...
This year our campaigners are fighting to raise awareness about the power of a tiny but mighty health intervention: vaccines. Vaccines are a critical and cost-effective intervention that have the ability to promote good health, boost economies, and reduce poverty. That’s why it’s essential that we fully replenish Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance — a global organisation fighting to make sure everyone, everywhere has access to life-saving vaccines — this coming June. This February, our teams in the United Kingdom and the...
Globally, rates of extreme poverty are declining. But, that positive progress isn’t reflected when we examine poverty rates at a regional level. 70% of the world’s poorest live in Africa and forecasts indicate that “by 2030, nearly 9 in 10 extremely poor people will live in sub-Saharan Africa.” So, how can we change this? One key way to stem poverty is to invest in key interventions that will enable people to live healthy and productive lives, like vaccines. The power of...
What’s tiny, portable, cost-effective and powerful enough to save lives? A vaccine. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective health tools ever invented. In Gavi-supported countries, every US$1 spent on immunisation generates US$54 in broader societal benefits thanks to people living longer and healthier lives. There’s a lot of misinformation out there about vaccines, so we wanted to make sure you have the facts. Here are a few things you should know about vaccinations. 1. Immunisation saves up to 3 million lives...
We’ve been telling you about the power of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria all year. Recently, the Global Fund released a new report outlining the progress it has helped make in the fight to end AIDS, TB and malaria around the world. Since 2002, countries where the Global Fund invests have seen: AIDS-related deaths drop by 56%. TB deaths drop by 22%. malaria deaths drop by 46%. And in 2018, countries where the Global Fund invests have...
