2024 Ghana Philanthropy Awards
Fairuza Abdul-Rashid Safian, CAMFED Ghana’s National Director, attended the ceremony alongside colleagues to accept this honor on behalf of all in the organization.
The Inspiration for Change Award recognizes CAMFED Ghana’s work to promote girls’ education and women’s leadership in the most underserved, rural communities.
By the end of 2023, CAMFED Ghana had already supported 720,636 girls to go to school. Nearly 69,000 graduates in the CAMFED Association of women leaders in Ghana are stepping up to spearhead our programs and help more vulnerable children to go to school.

This annual gathering was focused on the work of young women school graduates trained as ‘Guides,’ who support their community members to thrive. CAMFED Association National Secretary, Shakirat Ali Pelpuo talked about the thousands of children already supported to go to school, learn, and succeed.
Hear from Ghanaian entrepreneurs and members of the CAMFED Association — Diana, Lydia, Veronica and Victorine — about how they’re championing the previously untapped potential of rural women artisans. They are united by their drive to support others through sustainable businesses.
When the opportunity to train as a CAMFED Agriculture Guide arose, I jumped at the chance. The program — active already in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Tanzania — launched for the first time in Ghana in early 2024 to help young women lead action to build community climate resilience, support women’s sustainable agribusiness, and improve food security.
