About this Nonprofit

Mission: To be the united grassroots movement in America to end extreme poverty.
Description: 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.
The Crisis: • 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.
The Opportunity: 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.
Recent Results: • In March 2007, thousands of ONE supporters across the U.S. called their senators and asked them to support the Smith-Dodd amendment that fully restored a $2.2 billion cut to the International Affairs budget, which houses most of the funding America commits to alleviating global poverty. The amendment passed on March 23, 2007.

• In February 2007, members of the ONE Campaign sent over 200,000 letters encouraging Congress to protect $1 billion in funding for the fight against extreme poverty and global disease. In response, Congress committed to a $1.45 billion increase for 2007. This funding means over 350,000 people will receive lifesaving AIDS medicines, over one million anti-malaria bed nets will be distributed, and over 120,000 people will receive treatment for tuberculosis.

• In fall of 2006, ONE members from across the country delivered over 250,000 letters to Capitol Hill and made thousands of calls, requesting that Congress help up to 300,000 Africans make a living and escape the cycle of poverty through renewal of a special trade provision within the African Growth and Opportunity Act called the “third country fabric provision.” On December 9, 2006, Congress responded and extended the trade provision until 2012, securing jobs for tens of thousands of hard-working men and women in some of the poorest countries of Africa.
