You’re a lifesaver. Let’s keep it that way.

The Good News: EU Aid works. EU aid has had an amazing impact in the fight against poverty. The next 7-year budget is set to achieve:

+ 9 MILLION children vaccinated

+ 15 MILLION children in school

+ 51 MILLION people with clean water

1.9 MILLION

1.2 MILLION less children vaccinated against measles

fewer births attended by health personnel

1.6 MILLION

1.9 MILLION

6.5 MILLION

less pupils in primary school

ONE is a global campaigning organisation that fights for smart programs and policies that give the poorest people on the planet a real chance to break out of the cycle of extreme poverty. Made up of three million members around the world, we campaign together by writing letters, signing petitions, making phone calls and meeting with our representatives on the local, national and international level. When acting alone, it’s hard to make a difference. But when we act together, we can create real change. That’s how advocacy works, and it’s what we do at ONE.
