It's that time of year again: We're headed to The Farm! ONE has had a presence at Tennessee's Bonnaroo music festival for more than a decade, braving heat and inclement weather to take action and bring new voices to our fight against poverty and preventable disease!
We couldn't do the work we do without our amazing volunteers. Meet Sophia, one of our Alabama activists - and a repeat Bonnaroo volunteer!
Sophia, why did you join ONE?

What we do
We’re a non-profit organization with a 20-year history of fighting for a more just world.
We focus on advocacy, meaning we drive attention and public support to policies that create healthier lives and economic opportunities in Africa. We’re not a charity or grantmaking organization, and we don’t provide direct aid to implementing programs on the ground. We raise awareness around some of the biggest global challenges around inequity and instability and make a data-driven case for change.
We are strictly nonpartisan and...
This Africa Day, ONE set out to do more than just celebrate. We wanted to spark conversations, shift perspectives, and show the real return on investing in Africa. So we brought the party (and the policy) to Capitol Hill, where energy was high and Africa was front and center.
A Return, Not a Risk
We kicked things off in the House of Representatives with a reception that made one thing clear: Africa is a place where trade and investment can thrive....
Africa Day is celebrated on May 25th each year to mark the founding of the Organization of African Unity (now the African Union) in 1963. It’s a day to recognize the achievements of African countries and amplify African unity, culture, innovation, and potential.
Africa is often reduced to a single story – typically one of poverty, disease, hunger or conflict. Another narrative that has gained currency is that continent is a “black hole of investing.” Africa is too risky and...
When it comes to global events, New York in September is the place to be. The ONE Campaign was out in full force at UNGA 2024, leading conversations on innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges – and celebrating our 20th anniversary.
Our flagship event, “Africa at the Forefront of Global Financing Solutions,” fused policy and pop culture to explore how we can make sure Africa is treated as an equal player on the global stage.
Some highlights:

New year, same fight to end extreme poverty and preventable disease.
Congress must reauthorize PEPFAR to keep up the fight against HIV/AIDS. Here's three reasons why.
The world is over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’ve seen some progress in global coordination to end it, including the Biden administration’s deal with Pfizer-BioNTech to purchase 500 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to share globally. But we need more global action to end the pandemic for everyone, everywhere.
The fastest way to do so and beat the virus is to ensure that everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to vaccines. Otherwise, the world is at...
Having safe and effective vaccines to fight COVID-19 within a year of the first reported cases is a historic scientific achievement. But as our animated series “Pandemica” has illustrated, unless the world prioritizes fair and equal vaccine distribution, we’re at risk of prolonging the pandemic. What happens in the next six weeks will determine the trajectory of this pandemic for the next six months. This is a critical point in the pandemic, as world leaders can either turn the...
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the creation of safe and effective vaccines to fight the virus within a year of the first reported cases is a huge scientific achievement. It has shifted the conversation from “if” there will be an end to the pandemic to “when.”
Even with vaccines being rolled out, we know that we won’t beat this disease fully until we beat it everywhere, so we need to ensure vaccines and medicines reach people at risk wherever they...
