Hear and learn from women taking action to uphold the fundamental right to quality education.
Hear and learn from experts with lived experience of exclusion from school, who are taking action to ensure many more children can secure the fundamental right to education:
CAMFED’s mentorship and material support have been pivotal in shaping the leader I am today. Having risen to Program Manager at CAMFED Zambia — the very organization that supported my education — I provide encouragement, mentorship, and connect young women to leadership, business and higher education opportunities. It’s really rewarding to see young women succeed, and be able to support more children to go to school.

With CAMFED’s support, we have achieved so much, and we are reinvesting the benefits of our education to uplift the next generation of girls.
