95% of girls from the most disadvantaged communities in rural Africa never complete secondary school, their endless potential wasted. This is a reality that plays out at every stage of a young woman’s life. It’s a driving force of poverty and injustice.
Yet we know that girls supported to learn and succeed can become leaders taking action to ensure their communities thrive.
International Women’s Day is one of the most important dates in the year for our global movement, and for everyone around the world who is committed to an equitable future.
When you support CAMFED, you’re supporting young women across rural Africa to complete school and become leaders and change makers, accelerating action for women and girls — in and with their communities.
Our free International Women’s Day (IWD) Action Pack contains plenty of inspiration to kickstart your action.

The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.Gloria Steinem, pictured with CAMFED's Alice Saisha
CAMFED makes sure that no girl or young woman walks her path alone. We nurture a pan-African sisterhood called the CAMFED Association - comprising entrepreneurs, activists and leaders - bolstered by a global movement for change.
I’m Mwangala, Programs Manager at CAMFED Zambia and member of the CAMFED Association of women leaders. I am testimony of the power of education to transform lives and uplift communities.
Education changed my life. I’m now a role model in my community, encouraging others to become great people who can challenge poverty.
Since I started my business, I’ve become confident to make decisions — particularly financial ones — on my own, which is unusual in my rural community. I have seen the community’s mind-set towards women and girls completely change.
