Poverty stops progress in its tracks

Too often, when families are struggling to afford basic essentials, girls are the first to drop out of school. They face the perils of early marriage, early pregnancy, and exploitation.

Without an education, their world shrinks.
Their choices narrow.
And the future they imagined begins to slip away.

But it doesn’t have to.

With CAMFED and supporters like you by their side girls can stay in school, complete their education, and build brighter futures. CAMFED removes financial and social barriers so girls have what they need to thrive, from school supplies to mentorship.

Today, will you give a gift to keep a girl’s dream in motion?

Hear from Innocent

Innocent is a secondary school student in Ghana who dreams of becoming a journalist, inspired by her CAMFED mentor, Ms. Tracy, who recently earned a Master’s degree in Journalism.

“The idea of graduating is exciting. I have a lot of people rooting for me, I can’t let them down.”

Right now, there are many more girls like Innocent — determined, capable, and yet so close to dropping out.

Your support today can change that.
