About CAMFED

CAMFED's holistic programs support girls to go to school, learn, thrive, and become leaders and change makers in their communities.

CAMFED works in partnership with communities, government schools, and education authorities in Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

All our operational functions are carried out in partnership and close coordination with the young women and communities we serve.

Teachers, parents, traditional authorities and local officials work together with our women leaders to actively champion and support the advancement of girls and young women

We are the CAMFED Association, Africa’s largest and fastest-growing peer support and leadership network of young women activists for girls' education, now spearheading CAMFED's programs.

CAMFED has created a model that radically improves girls’ prospects of becoming independent, influential women.

We track and measure the impact of our work through rigorous monitoring and evaluation, longitudinal surveys, and in-depth research.

The most exciting outcome of CAMFED’s unique model is its multiplier effect.

We are led by young women with a shared background of exclusion, who are stepping up for education and equity and multiplying the investment in their education.

CAMFED catalyzes the power of the most vulnerable girls and young women to create the future they imagine — for themselves, for their communities, and for Africa.
