ONE is an international campaigning and advocacy organization of nearly 7 million people taking action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.ONE raises public awareness and works with political leaders to combat AIDS and preventable diseases, increase investments in agriculture and nutrition, and demand greater transparency so governments are accountable to their citizens. ONE works closely with African activists and policymakers as they fight corruption, promote poverty-fighting priorities, monitor the use of aid, and help build civil society and economic development. ONE’s work is strictly politically non-partisan.In recent years, ONE’s members, together with other campaigners, have played an important role in persuading governments to support effective programs and policies that are making a measurable difference in fighting extreme poverty and disease. ONE is not a grant-making organization and does not solicit funding from the public or receive government funding. ONE is funded almost entirely by foundations, individual philanthropists and corporations. We achieve change through advocacy.

One Team Society is a registered not-for-profit Canadian Society based in Vancouver, Canada. One Team was created to develop and support grassroots soccer programs in communities impacted by war, poverty, and gender inequality. Our mission is to promote global peace and social change through soccer. One Team was founded by social entrepreneur and award-winning humanitarian Adri Hamael. In 2013, James spearheaded the introduction of fair trade products to the Vancouver International Soccer Festival. Securing additional fair trade products to be exclusively supplied, including soccer balls, resulted in the Festival’s recognition by Fairtrade Canada as the first Accredited Fairtrade Sporting Event in Western Canada. http://www.oneteamunited.ca/
