The World Health Organization employee told Reuters that she hopes to raise sufficient funds of social media to alleviate the impact of the United States ’withdrawal from the organization during the era of US President Donald Trump.
The “One dollar, one world” campaign around the world requires donating one dollar to the United Nations organization that fights chronic diseases and those that appear around the world and publish a picture of themselves on social media while raising the index finger.
Tania Chernoski, an employee of the organization for 10 years and worked to improve access to vaccines, said she thought about the campaign when she was thinned by Trump’s announcement at night.
“I was frustrated and disappointed. I was concerned about this advertisement, like anyone else,” said Chirinoski in an interview with her at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva.
The World Health Organization data showed that the billion dollars, which it seeks to almost equal to what the United States offers, is the largest donor to the organization, for a two -year budget.
So far, since its inauguration last week, the Chernoski campaign has succeeded in collecting about 58 thousand dollars, which is a small part of the target amount.
Adhanum supports
Many of the first donors of the World Health Organization, among them, was Maria Van Kirchov, who became one of the agency’s famous faces during the Kofid-19, and from donors residing in rich countries such as Switzerland and the United States.
Tina Burnat, a global health advisor, said in a blog that this trend means that the campaign may “indicate that it is a campaign to collect donations by the United Nations civil employees to protect their salaries and work programs.”
“I think we are all lucky here. But we are working for unlucky people, and for this reason we have been important,” said Cerenski in response.
The Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Gebrisos, expressed his support for her. “I am proud of it. All employees say we are part of the solution,” he told Reuters.
Cernowski, a 46 -year -old Italian who has been working in public health for 25 years, said that people were expected to donate more richer countries. She added that donations now come from Ukraine, India and parts of Africa.
She published a message she received from an Indian woman saying, “You have an army behind you. It is very touching. I felt it, and I said: I (I will donate).”
