Our model for change We empower citizens: the petitioners, protestors, and mobilisers who remain persistent, even in the face of resistance. We bring ONE’s campaigning expertise and decades of experience creating real, meaningful change, and we provide a megaphone to the world’s passionate advocates.

We work to mobilize citizens’ voices to tackle the root causes of poverty. And we win! Here’s a look at some of our past work.

Your voices helped secure billions of dollars of investment for Africa. An example: ONE successfully campaigned for the BUILD act, a bill to help boost private investment in developing African countries that could improve millions of lives.

We live in an unjust world with too many people living in extreme poverty, and preventable diseases still killing millions every year. We’re seeing unequal access to quality education, good jobs and lifesaving medicines, and climate injustice with those who contributed least to the crisis paying the highest price.
