One Girl is a non-profit organisation that helps break down barriers so girls can access education. Over 130 million girls around the world are denied access to their education, simply because they are a girl. This figure has only increased since the pandemic, the impacts of the climate crisis, and humanitarian conflict. One Girl is working to change that. Because her education changes everything.

Educating girls is so important because when a girl is educated, everything changes. Her health, status, income, and entire future will change 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 ensure 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, 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.
