Applications are open for ONE StandTogether Essay and Artwork Competition 2021. Last year, ONE teamed up with 10 artists across Africa to produce the song, ‘StandTogether’ to encourage us to work together to end the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed our world and is impacting our lives, our communities, and our economies.
