Company Description: ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History
The ONE Campaign is a new
effort to rally Americans to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme
poverty. Each ONE of us can make a difference. Together as ONE we can change the
world.
We can beat:
-
AIDS
-
Starvation
-
Extreme poverty
ONE billion people live on less
than ONE dollar a day.
ONE by ONE, we can help them
help themselves.
“WE
BELIEVE that in the best American tradition
of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries
in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the
world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE
RECOGNIZE that a pact including such
measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing
additional resources for basic needs – education, health, clean water, food,
and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire
generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of
the US budget. WE
COMMIT ourselves
- one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for
all.” Sign
the Declaration
ONE participants include
celebrities such as Bono, lead singer of U2 and DATA
co-founder; Dikembe Mutombo, NBA All-Star and advocate for Africa; Michael W.
Smith Grammy Award winning Musician; Agnes Nyamayarwo, Ugandan Nurse and Global
AIDS activist, and representatives of national advocacy organizations such as
Bread for the World, World Vision, Global Health Council, DATA and many others.
