E&H ONE Organization

The Emory & Henry ONE Organization is part of the ONE Campaign which seeks to raise public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, disease and efforts to fight such problems in developing countries. Members of the E&H ONE Organization sign the ONE Declaration which states:

WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty.

WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs - education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans - would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget.

WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.

Millennium Development Goals The Millennium Development Goals set a framework for how the world could see the end of extreme poverty. In September, 2000, The United States joined with 188 nations to affirm a set of international development goals in the United Nations Millennium Declaration. The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) reflect an understanding of the devastation caused by global hunger and poverty and aim for a world that is free of such suffering. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world's poorest by 2015. Our leaders committed to these goals and it is up to us, as Americans and ONE supporters, to make sure that America keeps its promises to the world's most vulnerable people.

What actions are members of the E&H ONE Organization involved in? In the 2007-8 academic year, members of the E&H ONE Organization are focusing their efforts on raising awareness about ONE and recruiting supporters to this effort as part of their participation in the ONE Campus Challenge. The ONE Campus Challenge is an effort by ONE to involve as many college students as possible at small colleges and large universities throughout the United States to get involved with ONE. Members of the E&H ONE Organization will be planning events and taking actions in the upcoming months as they compete with other campuses as part of the ONE Campus Challenge.
