John, take a moment to think back to when you were 10. Imagine
if you had not been able to read and understand a simple story at that
age. Where do you think you would be today?

Age 10 is the age at which children should be switching from learning to
read to reading to learn. It's a critical milestone that sets children up
for a lifetime of learning. It increases their ability to earn, innovate,
improve their own opportunities, and contribute to their societies,
including becoming the next generation of doctors, nurses, and teachers. 

Yet, millions of children miss this goal. Since 2015, more than 393
million children have reached their 10th birthday without having basic
literacy skills. And every second, that number gets higher. 

To measure the scale of this global learning crisis and encourage
governments to take action ahead of the [ [link removed] ]Global Education Summit in
July, the ONE Campaign, the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), and
Save the Children have built an interactive tool called the Lost Potential
Tracker. We're launching it next week —  but here’s a sneak peek just for
ONE supporters!

On World Immunisation Week: speak out for frontline workers everywhere

As hundreds of millions of people are finally able to access COVID-19
vaccines in some countries, many of us can breathe a huge sigh of relief.
But in many low-income countries, [ [link removed] ]doctors, nurses, and other frontline
workers are continuing to risk their lives, and the lives of their
families, in the fight against the virus. Even people most at risk are
likely to have to wait months, or even years, for a vaccine. 

Why? One of the reasons is that some rich countries (including the US, UK,
Canada, and the EU) have pre-ordered way more doses than they need (over 1
billion excess doses!) leaving the rest of the world with little or no
vaccine supplies.

And as long as the virus remains unchecked anywhere on the planet, it will
continue to mutate and breach borders, costing lives and wreaking havoc on
the global economy. The good news is we know how to fix this problem. We
just need urgent and effective global cooperation. 

On World Immunisation Week, will you join thousands of ONE supporters in
calling on world leaders to urgently share their surplus vaccine doses
with countries in need? Sign and share the petition now:

"To EU leaders and the governments of Australia, Canada, Japan, the UK and
the US,
We are calling on you to urgently share your surplus COVID-19 vaccine
doses with low-income countries. We want the most vulnerable people
protected wherever they live and recognise that none of us are safe until
we defeat the pandemic everywhere."

ONE World Campaign: 1 year in

One year into COVID-19, with more than 3 million lives lost, the world has
yet to mobilise the money, tools, and political leadership needed to face
this worldwide challenge. While some countries have recently [ [link removed] ]taken some
positive steps to support global vaccine access, there is still a very
long way to go. 

Here’s a look back at the progress made so far and what still needs to
happen in order to truly end the pandemic and build back stronger.

ONE youth activists call for new Africa-Europe partnership

Europe and Africa have a long, chequered history – politically,
economically, and culturally. However, thanks largely to the relics of
colonisation, the relationship between the two continents still appears to
lack sufficient balance with the trappings of a donor-recipient
arrangement. But the relationship can be so much more – a balanced,
equitable, and mutually beneficial partnership.

ONE Global Activist Damilola Adeniran shares how he and other young
activists are coming together in a new Africa-Europe Task Force:
