As the end of the financial year approaches, many Australians are thinking about tax returns, deductions, and how to make the most of their giving before June 30.
This EOFY, your tax-deductible donation can do more than reduce your taxable income. It can help keep a girl in school.
Why Girls' Education Matters
Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty.
Research shows that each additional year of schooling can increase a girl's future earning potential by up to 20%. When girls have access to education, they are more likely to earn an income, support their families, and create opportunities for future generations.
But for many girls in Sierra Leone, staying in school is not guaranteed.
Barriers such as poverty, long travel distances, lack of school supplies, and food insecurity can make it difficult for girls to continue their education.
Only 17% of girls in Sierra Leone complete secondary school.
But in 2025, 100% of One Girl students remained enrolled.
What Your Donation Supports
At One Girl, we work alongside girls, families, schools, and communities to help remove these barriers.
A tax-deductible donation helps provide practical support that allows girls to attend school and continue learning, including:
- Transport to and from school
- Nutritious food and meals
- School uniforms
- Essential school supplies and learning materials
These resources may seem simple, but they can make the difference between a girl staying in school or being forced to leave.
Creating Long-Term Impact
When you support girls' education, you're investing in more than a single school year.
You're helping girls build confidence, develop skills, and create opportunities for themselves and their communities.
Every donation contributes to a future where more girls can learn, thrive, and reach their full potential.
