Your generosity. Generations of change.

Through the power of education, CAMFED is transforming millions of lives — and creating a ripple effect of change that can last for generations. With your support, we can reach millions more.

For girls from the most disadvantaged communities in rural Africa, the odds of completing their education remain devastatingly low. Out of every 100 girls from the most marginalized families, just five will complete secondary school.

Your generosity can spark change. By providing essentials like uniforms, notebooks and menstrual products, you can help a girl stay in school, thrive in her education and build a brighter future — creating opportunities that can benefit her family and community for generations to come.

Your gift will go twice as far this year.

The first $725,000 in donations received will be matched by a group of generous CAMFED donors.

That means every $1 you give becomes $2 — doubling your impact through girls’ education!

 

“Your generosity today can help ignite thousands of sparks of change lighting the way to a brighter tomorrow.”
Angeline Murimirwa, CAMFED CEO and one of the very first girls supported by CAMFED

REAL STORIES. REAL IMPACT. RIGHT NOW.

Mutinta lives in a rural community in Zambia. She was raised by her grandparents after her mother was unable to care for her. The family struggled to afford her school fees, stationery, and other essential school supplies.

Life became harder when her grandmother suffered a stroke, and Mutinta sadly lost her grandfather to cancer last year. He had always encouraged her to persevere at school and believe in herself.

A major turning point in Mutinta’s life came when her community selected her for a CAMFED scholarship. With her school fees covered and essential school supplies provided, Mutinta can focus on her studies and pursue her dreams of becoming a paediatric doctor, caring for her grandmother and helping others.

“Girls’ education is very important because you are not only successful on your own, but you also help others.”
— Mutinta, secondary school student – Zambia

CAMFED’S TIME-TESTED APPROACH

CAMFED’s 3-level model is recognized as one of the boldest solutions for tackling the biggest challenges of our time — and it all starts with supporting a girl to go to school.

We know this works. We’ve seen it. And we can reach even more girls — but only if we act now.

Your gift to CAMFED can spark transformational change:

A girl in school: We provide individualized financial and material support to ensure girls have everything they need in school — including uniforms, notebooks, and menstrual products — and build a nurturing support network around them.

Africa’s largest network of young women leaders: After graduation, we support young women to transition to secure work and leadership roles through the CAMFED Association — a sisterhood of over 355,000 educated women who in turn send more girls to school and change the futures of their communities.

Communities thrive for generations: We partner with governments to enhance national school systems, ensuring they better serve the needs of all children.
