Vision & Mission

Camfed’s vision is of a world in which every child is educated, protected, respected and valued, and grows up to turn the tide of poverty.

In Africa, where girls have least access to education and are most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, Camfed’s mission is to multiply girls’ access to education and accelerate the benefits to individuals, their families and communities.

Principles – We are committed to:

  • Urgent action to tackle the problems facing today’s children
  • Respecting and co-operating with national institutions responsible for education
  • Valuing and strengthening existing community institutions and structures
  • Honouring the confidentiality of sensitive information gathered from individuals
  • Enabling those who are excluded and marginalised, such as rural girls, to speak on their own behalf
  • Measuring results by the quantifiable benefits to children and young people
  • Being cost-effective and ensuring resources reach African communities in a way that is transparent and accountable to beneficiaries.
