Changing Africa's narrative doesn't stop with one conversation. It is the result of people who consistently challenge assumptions, expand opportunities, and help the world see Africa more fully. This Pan-African Women's Day, we're celebrating the women whose leadership and partnership with ONE are changing how the world sees Africa. Their stories are part of a much bigger one—of women across the continent who are challenging assumptions, opening doors, and shaping Africa's future. Tag a women like them whose impact deserves to be celebrated today.👏🏽 #PanAfricanWomensDay

The people who change the world are often the ones who make room for someone else to belong. That's the kind of impact #Futuremaker Nasiphi Khafu is working to make. After finding community, confidence, and purpose through sport, she's dedicated her career to helping young people, especially, girls and young women discover that same sense of purpose and belonging. Today, as Director of Strategy & Partnerships at @peaceplayers, she's creating spaces where young people can grow into leaders, discover their potential, and believe they belong. Because when more young people have the opportunity to belong, we all benefit from the ideas, leadership, and change they go on to create.🌍🤝🏽

21 years later, these words still challenge us. Ahead of Mandela Day, let's remember that real change has always started with ordinary people choosing to act. Greatness isn't about one moment it's about choosing to act, to speak up, and to leave the world better than we found it. What will your contribution be?🌍 #MandelaDay #BeTheGreatGeneration

Sport has the power to inspire, unite, and open doors. But talent alone isn't enough. Every athlete's journey begins with something more fundamental: the opportunity to survive, learn, and thrive. That's why conversations about sport are also conversations about investing in health, education, and the conditions that help every child reach their full potential. This week, we joined @RightToPlayUSA , members of our Diaspora Creative Council, and other inspiring leaders in Atlanta to explore how sport can be a catalyst for healthier communities and greater opportunity.⚽️🌍 @Pops @barkueT

In the latest edition of One Stubborn Thing, ONE's President & CEO, Amb.

We all have a role to play in building a better future. That's the message at the heart of Malala Yousafzai's advocacy, and it's just as relevant today. Progress has never been the job of leaders or institutions alone. It has always been driven by people who choose to speak up, stand together, and keep pushing for change. Ahead of #MalalaDay on Sunday, we are celebrating Malala and everyone helping build a world where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. 🤝🏽 And wishing a happy early birthday to @Malala on July 12! 🎉

Approximately 500 nurses leave Ghana each month to work abroad. It's a statistic that tells a much bigger story.

A record 9 African teams have reached the World Cup knockout stage. ⚽🌍 It's a historic moment that goes beyond football. When African athletes compete on the world's biggest stages, they help reshape how millions of people see the continent.

Health security isn't built during an outbreak. It's built long before one. As countries respond to the current Ebola outbreak, the priority can't only be containing today's crisis—it must also be investing in the health workers, laboratories, surveillance systems, and local clinics that prevent the next one. Strong health systems mean trained health workers can identify cases earlier. Clinics have the equipment they need. Communities can access care closer to home. Disease surveillance catches outbreaks before they spread further. When we invest in stronger health systems, we don't just prepare for future outbreaks—we build healthier, more resilient communities and a safer future for everyone. 🌍🤝🏽

As the Pharaohs take the pitch, we're celebrating a country whose legacy extends far beyond football—and continues to shape our shared story today. 🇪🇬⚽ Good luck to the Pharaohs!🇪🇬👏🏽 #AfricaBeyondThePitch #FIFAWorldCup2026

These aren't just budget cuts. They're cuts to stability, resilience, and opportunity. Investing in development helps build a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future for everyone.
