As part of efforts to forge mutually-beneficial working relationships with the media, CAMFED Ghana will be holding its annual CAMFED-Media Partnership Meeting to enable it to present its new strategic plan and work and as well as answer questions from the media.
The Meeting, to be held on Thursday, June 10, 2021 is also expected to provide a very good opportunity for networking and collaboration in support of girls’ education, women’s empowerment and job creation.
CAMFED Ghana envisions a world in which every child is educated, protected, respected and valued, and grows up to turn the tide of poverty and 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.
Against this background, the organisation focuses on girls and young women in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa where girls face acute disadvantage and where their empowerment will have a transformative impact.
Through the CAMFED Association, women were leading action on the big challenges their countries face – from child marriage, and girls’ exclusion from education, to climate change.
Through collective efforts, it has already supported more than 4.8 million children to go to school across Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, and millions more students have benefited from an improved educational environment across our partner schools.
CAMFED is a pan-African movement, revolutionizing how girls’ education is delivered. Through a gold-standard system of accountability to the young people and communities we serve, we have created a model that radically improves girls’ prospects of becoming independent, influential women.
This unique pan-African network of lawyers, doctors, educators, and entrepreneurs is growing exponentially as more girls complete school and join them.
It 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.
Its impact has increased exponentially through the Association of young women educated with CAMFED’s support. Together, we multiply the number of girls in school, and accelerate their transition to livelihoods and leadership.
CAMFED is made up of three inter-working and interdependent parts. Through the synergy of these three parts, CAMFED is able to deliver a resilient, highly efficient and ultimately sustainable program that truly serves the needs of its clients, and multiplies the impact of donor investment.
