Change Everything, Educate a Girl!

Please help us raise $5,000 to educate girls in Tanzania!
About Us
The Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) fights poverty and inequality by supporting girls to go to school and succeed, and empowering young women to step up as leaders of change. For 25 years, CAMFED has invested in girls and women in the poorest rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa, where girls face acute disadvantage, and where their education has transformative potential.
CAMFED supports girls and young women through school, and then on to new lives as entrepreneurs and community leaders. To complete the “virtuous cycle” and create sustainable change, graduating students become CAMFED Alumnae (CAMA), many of whom return to their local schools to train and mentor new generations of students.
United by our background of rural poverty, CAMFED Alumnae empathize with the significant challenges faced by vulnerable children in rural communities. Additionally, having been supported through school ourselves, we have a strong motivation and commitment to reinvest in the next generation of girls. Each CAMFED alumna, on average, supports two more girls to go to school, and rallies community support around the most vulnerable.
An educated girl can look forward to a much brighter future for herself and her community.
More About our Project
Having once struggled to complete our own education, young women in the CAMFED Alumnae (CAMA) network in Kilolo District, Tanzania, are now working hard to ensure more girls have the opportunity to go to school. Funding of $5,000 would enable us to support 300 of the most vulnerable girls in our community to secure an education and a brighter future.
Although school is now free to attend in Tanzania, other direct costs of education remain, including uniforms, stationery, sanitary wear, transport costs and hostel fees when students have to live close to school because their home is too far to travel to and from daily. These costs are prohibitive for many children, as shown by the fact that just 79 percent of children in Tanzania complete primary school, and just 20 percent complete lower secondary school. In response, CAMFED Alumnae support children to access education by meeting the school-going costs that are preventing them from coming to and staying in school.
Children are identified for support using a robust identification and selection process based on CAMFED's long-standing program in Tanzania. And your support to be able to meet direct school-going costs is complemented by the additional activities of CAMFED Alumnae in the district, which include academic tutoring, counseling, mentoring, and advocating to the wider community around removing the barriers that girls face in securing an education.
We provide transport costs, including bicycles, to girls who live a long way from their nearest high school.
How You Can Help
Any donation, large or small, will benefit our efforts to help girls continue their education. We ask you to donate if you can and share our campaign far and wide!
Your gift will transform the futures of girls like Catherine, who was supported by CAMFED in Tanzania and explained what this meant to her: "I was imagining my future as going into a big hole where no one could help me. A girl without education is nothing in the world. Education is everything."
