The One World, Together at Home global concert – organised to raise funds to fight the COVID-19 pandemic – has raised over US$127 million.
The eight-hour concert which took place on Saturday – and featured South African DJ Black Coffee – was co-organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) with Global Citizen’s Hugh Evans and musician Lady Gaga. (Watch the full show at bottom of page if you missed it.)
WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, said: “I’d like to start by thanking the many musicians, comedians and humanitarians who made Saturday’s ‘One World, Together at Home’ concert an enormous success. So humbled, and the whole WHO community is very grateful for the support that poured over 8 hours.
“The event raised more than US$127 million to support several organizations responding to COVID-19, including US$55 million for WHO’s Solidarity Response Fund.
“The fund has now raised more than 194 million dollars from more than 270 000 individuals, corporations and foundations,” he said.
Thanking his co-organisers, the WHO DG paid a special tribute to his colleague Paul Garwood who was the brains behind the concert.
