The ONE Campaign is an effort
by Americans to rally Americans – one by one – to fight the
emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. The ONE Campaign
derives its name from the belief that allocating an additional
one percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like
health, education, clean water and food would transform the
futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world's poorest
countries. We also call for debt cancellation, trade reform and
anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive package to help
Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme poverty.
(RED) was
created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise
awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the
world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products.
A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The
Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS
in Africa.
What's the meaning of the parentheses or brackets? Well, we call
them "the embrace." Each company that becomes (RED) places its logo
in this embrace and is then elevated to the power of red. Thus the
name -- (PRODUCT)RED.
