Philanthropy

Your philanthropy helps transform the futures of some of the most marginalized girls in Africa, enabling them to go to school and succeed, and empowering them as educated young women to step up as leaders of change in their communities. To fulfill its mission, Camfed relies on partnerships with philanthropic individuals who make a significant contribution to tackling the barriers to education for girls.

What our donors say

“Camfed builds on local community capital, and its unique alumnae network multiplies the investment in girls, as those who have benefited invest in the education of other girls. It’s a wonderful model for growth and sustainability.”

Julia Gillard, Camfed Patron, former Prime Minister of Australia, Chair of the Global Partnership for Education, and Distinguished Fellow with the Center for Universal Education at Brookings

“I remain humbled and awed at the success of Camfed, the amazing progress of the women who have come through your programs, and their entrepreneurial initiative in finding ways to give back and deepen the impact your organisation is making.”

Tim from London

"Camfed’s alumnae network approach is very unique. Support isn’t just about giving money, but truly following through with girls, many of whom are now leading the work as educated young women. Additionally, careful monitoring is used to measure effectiveness, and use of this data and analysis ensures programs are having the maximum impact."

Vladimir from New York

“The results you have achieved are something to be proud of. We are delighted to see your interventions are leading to measurable and sustained impact on the lives of marginalised children, and in particular girls. Your approach to have this researched and supported by statistical analysis is great, and allows the facts to speak of what you are doing. “
