Coming up soon: TV program ‘It starts with water’
Apart from the economic crisis and the food crisis, the world is also fighting against a serious water crisis. Of every 100 litres of water on this planet, just a teaspoon is accessible for people. As a result many people still have no access to clean drinking water. A team of 1We-TV recently travelled to Kenya, where half of the population still lives under the poverty line. In the exciting and dynamic TV program ‘It starts with water' 1We-TV follows six Dutch entrepreneurs who faced the challenge to find a solution for what seems to be the largest world problem ever. Will these guys succeed in completing this adventure successfully?

1We Health Centres: more than just healthcare
In Bangladesh over the past decade there has been a significant decline in infant and child mortality and morbidity due to the control, prevention and (almost) elimination of certain diseases. People are living longer (about 65 years) and life expectancy at birth has increased. However AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis are still a huge threat to the public health as well as heart diseases, diabetes and cancer. Also malnutrition is still a major cause of death of children. Reason for all this is the fact that a lot of people don’t have access to medical care. Especially in the rural areas is lack to facilities. That is why 1We is starting up the 1We Health Centres in these areas. Each centre will develop into a multifunctional centre which offers next to healthcare, education and tools to empower people and promote their general wellbeing. Read more
Entrepreneur calls for action: 'Let's get Rio on the run'
“Imagine being born in the slums of Rio. Your only future perspective is a ‘career’ in drugs and the chances of living to become twenty years old are not very good. Unless you are able to attend school and therefore able to build a better life. For this goal I gladly contribute to the 1We-IBISS Football Playgrounds.” These are the words of the Dutch entrepreneur Marianne Spoor who is actively involved in this 1We project. To raise funds she has been participating in amongst others the International Four Day Marches Nijmegen. "My goal is to collect as much money as possible for the first football playground in the favela Gringolandia as a weapon in the battle against the drug wars. By constructing a football playground it is possible to keep the children out of reach of the drug mafia by using sport and education. Your donation contributes directly to a better life of the people in the favelas of Rio." Read more / More about the 1We-IBISS Football Playgrounds
Columns from around the world 
The colour of her skin has never been a personal issue, being a woman has. ‘If a man can do it, so can I’ became her motto. Grace Boldewijn is a daring business woman. She still proudly carries her title ‘European Black Business Woman of 2002’. This title enables her, as one of the prominent people of the Surinam society, to commit to the future of her country of birth. She was responsible, amongst others, for the opening of a cassava cracker factory in the middle of the jungle. And to top it of she will be participating in the Surinam elections of 2010 with her own political party. Her biggest challenge? “Problems. I love them!" 
Exclusive interview with Muhammad Yunus for 1We-TV
‘People should be able to take matters into their own hands’
“Conventional banks are unfair; they do not grant loans to those people who need it most.” And: “In most Third World countries the government is not the right place for foreign development projects.” Muhammad Yunus, the guru of micro credit, does not mince his words. At the head office of his Grameen Bank in Dhaka, he speaks outspokenly about his fight against poverty. The fight even takes place in the United States, where the Bengali bank established an office last year. Read and watch the interview 
1We-TV visites Nanko van Buuren in Rio de Janeiro
‘Football is the means for integration'
From above Rio de Janeiro looks like a colourful patchwork. Below is a hidden world of extreme poverty. Where criminal gangs and corrupt police fight each other as lice in a fur coat. In between Nanko van Buuren, a Dutchman from Groningen, tirelessly moves in the poorest slums as ‘El Patron’, which lies between Patron (boss) and Pai (father). “In the last ten years eighteen employees of IBISS have been killed. That gives me the thrill to keep going on. A mission? Nonsens. I just do my thing.” Read the interview
