Through a gold-standard system of accountability to the young people and communities we serve, we have created a model that radically improves girls’ prospects of becoming independent, influential women. Our impact increases exponentially through the Association of young women educated with CAMFED’s support.

Many of you supported CAMFED when the Sussex Squad called on the generosity of its members and followers during the #GlobalSussexBabyShower campaign. You honored The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ commitment to community-led change and social justice, and celebrated the imminent arrival of baby Archie by donating to causes that The Duke and Duchess care deeply about.
We were thrilled to have been chosen to benefit from your generosity as the Sussex Squad celebrated Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s birthdays.
Your gift will support young African women from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds to continue their education journey post-secondary school, including in vocational colleges. You’ll support them to acquire the skills they need to get a job or start a business, building independent lives with choice and agency.
