Girls educated with CAMFED support go on to join Africa’s largest and fastest-growing network of young women activists. They are our leaders.

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’s Mission 

CAMFED is a pan-African, grassroots-led movement tackling poverty, inequality and injustice through girls’ education and women’s leadership. Our focus is on vulnerable girls and young women in rural areas of Africa. This is where girls face acute disadvantage, and where unlocking their power will have a transformative impact.

CAMFED’s Vision
