ONE fights for a more just world by demanding the investments needed to create economic opportunities and healthier lives in Africa.
At ONE, we envision a world where Africa is an equal player, and where people across Africa have access to abundant economic opportunities and lead thriving, healthy lives. Our millions of supporters around the world bring us closer to this reality by using their voices to influence decision-makers to take action and tackle the world’s biggest challenges.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., ONE has a strong foundation and a track record of building relationships with bipartisan political leaders across the nine countries we operate in, running cutting-edge grassroots campaigns, and empowering citizens to hold their governments accountable.
ONE is strictly nonpartisan and we work to create partnerships on both sides of the aisle in order to make meaningful progress toward our goal of a more equal world. ONE is not a grant-making organization and does not solicit funding from the public or receive government funds. Foundations, individual philanthropists, and corporate partners fund us.
ONE prioritizes our support for the investments that have the greatest impact on the areas with the largest need, with a focus on resilience and self-sufficiency. This is why ONE believes US investments in development assistance are not just the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do – saving lives and improving livelihoods in the short term, while also fostering the stability needed to carry countries and their economies to self-sustainable, prosperous futures.
