Today the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation made an important announcement. A special project they launched, ‘The Living Proof Project: U.S. Investments in Global Health Are Working’ will now transfer over to the ONE Campaign.
The Living Proof Project was initially concieved to demonstrate successes in global health interventions worldwide. By sharing captivating stories of hope through a wide range of multimedia platforms, “Living Proof”emphasized that targeted interventions do save and improve lives afflicted by poverty and disease.
According to the official press announcement:
“ONE will expand The Living Proof Project to reach new audiences in more countries around an expanded set of development issues, including agriculture and access to clean water. ONE will also broaden The Living Proof Project beyond the U.S. to highlight the impact of European investments. The launch of this effort will include an event in London this fall featuring Bill and Melinda Gates. ONE will also collaborate closely with organizations working on the ground in developing countries to get the word out about the work they are doing to save lives and create opportunity.
With 2 million members globally and a record of creating cutting-edge advocacy campaigns, ONE will lead the next evolution of The Living Proof Project. ONE and its partners will incorporate The Living Proof Project content into their ongoing efforts to inspire and challenge people around the world to help secure long term, sustainable support from G8 and G20 nations for international development.”
We are excited by this news and look forward to seeing the dynamic ways that ONE will shape “Living Proof!” We also look forward to sharing and highlighting stories of optimism and progress here on End The Neglect!
