Be a Voice for the World’s Children
The ONE Campaign is an historic pact for compassion and justice to help the world's poorest families overcome AIDS & poverty.
The campaign will rally Americans to speak with ONE voice—encouraging our political leaders to do more to fight global poverty and AIDS. The campaign is asking for an additional ONE percent of the U.S. budget for international aid. (We currently spend only one half of 1% of the federal budget on international aid.)

Who is involved with the campaign?
Plan USA helped to found the ONE Campaign, together with CARE, Save the Children, Bread for the World and other leading humanitarian organizations. U2 lead singer Bono (pictured at the ONE Campaign kickoff in Philadelphia), actor Brad Pitt and NY Knicks star Dikembe Mutumbo have all lent their vocal support.
