2016 Highlights

In 2016, against a global backdrop of global uncertainty, we celebrated the unwavering activism of the young women alumnae in our CAMA network. More than 55,000 school graduates are now stepping up in astonishing ways to support vulnerable children to go to school. Through CAMA’s work in schools and in their communities, we have seen an unprecedented uplift in enrolment and learning among the most marginalized girls. As a result, for every girl our donor partners support, three will graduate.

This is the activism you ignited. We cannot thank you enough:
