ONE was founded in 2004 by Bono and other activists determined to fight for a fairer world. They are proudly impartial, so they don’t receive any government money and are funded by philanthropists, foundations, and corporate partners.

ONE is a global movement campaigning to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030, so that everyone, everywhere can lead a life of dignity and opportunity. They believe the fight against poverty isn’t about charity, but about justice and equality. Whether lobbying political leaders in world capitals or running cutting-edge grassroots campaigns, ONE pressures governments to do more to fight extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, and empowers citizens to hold their governments to account.

ONE speaks out for a just and dignified future for everyone. They bring people together. They demand change from the people who can make it happen and hold them accountable.
