One Girl is a non-profit organisation that harnesses the power of education to drive change for girls in Sierra Leone and Uganda. Millions of girls around the world are denied access to their education, simply because they are a girl. This figure has only increased since the pandemic, impacts of the climate crisis and humanitarian conflict. One Girl is working to change that. 

One Girl is breaking down the barriers girls’ face in accessing their education through our girl-led programs in the places we work. 

Educating girls is so important, because when a girl is educated, everything changes. Her health, status, income and entire future changes for the better, and she will be more likely to educate her own family.  She will have more opportunity, choice and agency; and she will have the confidence and knowledge to make informed decisions about herself, her future and her family. The ripple effect is felt in her community, and furthermore around the world, as educating girls is recognised as one of the most effective ways to combat climate change. 

Girls education goes beyond getting girls into school, our programs take a holistic approach to ensuring girls feel safe at school, have ample opportunity to complete all levels of their education, girls gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, they learn socio-economic and life skills to help adapt to a changing world, and that they can advocate and make decisions for their own lives and communities.

Support girls’ education today and head to onegirl.org.au to help girls be the change for a more equitable, safe and sustainable future for all.
