Mandela Day

"ONE is an international campaigning and advocacy

organization of more than 3.5 million people taking

action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa… because the facts show extreme poverty has already been cut in half and can be virtually eliminated by 2030, but only if we act with urgency now.

 

Cofounded by Bono and not politically partisan, we raise public awareness and work with political leaders to combat AIDS and preventable diseases, increase investments in agriculture and nutrition, and demand greater transparency in poverty-fighting programs. ONE also works closely with African activists and policymakers as they fight corruption, promote poverty-fighting priorities, monitor the use of aid, and help build civil society and economic development."

"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity; 

it is an act of JUSTICE"

-Nelson Mandela
