About Me
Join the movement at www.ONE.org
ONE is a campaign of over 2.4 million people and more than 100 of America's most well-known and respected non-profit, advocacy, and humanitarian organizations.
ONE believes that increasing U.S. efforts to provide for basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures of an entire generation in the world’s poorest countries. ONE also calls for debt cancellation, making trade fairer, and anti-corruption measures in a comprehensive package to help Africa and poor countries everywhere beat global disease and extreme poverty.
• Every three seconds a child dies from extreme poverty.
• 1 billion people around the world live on less than $1 a day.
• 12 million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa and that number is expected to climb to 18 million by 2010.
• Education is a powerful investment we can make to fight poverty, yet worldwide over 77 million children are not enrolled in primary education, more than half of whom are girls.
• Over one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.6 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. Every 15 seconds, a child dies from problems caused by lack of clean water.
International assistance saves lives, directly helping and empowering individuals to help themselves. Increasing international assistance by an amount equal to just ONE percent of the U.S. budget will:
• Reduce by half the number of people in the world who suffer from hunger.
• Provide free access to primary education for 77 million out-of-school children.
• Provide access to clean water to 450 million people and basic sanitation to 700 million people.
• Prevent 5.4 million young children from dying of poverty-related illnesses each year.
• Save 16,000 lives a day by fighting HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
