- Problem Identified: As the most effective strategy to tackle poverty and inequality, CAMFED multiplies educational opportunities for girls and empowers young women to become leaders of change.
- Solution Offered: We not only pay school fees, but provide other essentials, such as uniforms, books, and sanitary protection. And we invest beyond the classroom, supporting young graduates in the CAMA alumnae network with additional training and resources to become economically independent leaders in their communities, helping other vulnerable children to access and complete an education.
- Social Impact: Our African-led movement has already supported 3.3 million children to go to school, with nearly 140,000 young women in our CAMA alumnae network leading the charge, multiplying donor investment in girls' education by supporting even more girls to stay in school, and thrive after school.
