Because I am a CAMFED Association member, I believe in the power of giving back to my society. The day I delivered a baby on the roadside, I was motivated to help her deliver safely because of my love for rural women and children.

Watch this video introduction to CAMFED. We support some of the most excluded girls in sub-Saharan Africa to go to school, succeed, lead, and grow up to turn the tide of poverty for their families and communities. Our programs are spearheaded by the young women leaders in the CAMFED Association, who partner with their communities to make sure every child secures their right to quality education.

Our strategic goal is to support the education of five million more girls in sub-Saharan Africa through community-led programs and the leadership of young women, providing financial and social support to the most vulnerable children in their communities. We’re also working with Ministries to scale youth-led innovations throughout the government school system, to make sure that the system as a whole works for the most marginalized.

My future outlook changed with CAMFED support, because every year we received support and I could afford to reach my dreams. Today I am a Learner Guide at the same school I attended. I understand the challenges students face, and my hope is to help them become self-aware and fulfil their goals.
