Organization's Homepage

In Africa, where girls have least access to education and are most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, Camfed's mission is to increase girls' access to education and economic opportunity and to accelerate the benefits to individuals, their families and communities. Camfed's vision is of a world in which every child is educated, protected, respected and valued, and grows up to turn the tide of poverty.

Camfed pays the full education costs of girls from poor families and provides Safety Net Funds to meet the needs of other vulnerable children. Our Seed Money Program, run by women, provides rural young women with training and financing to start businesses. Our Community Health Program trains young women in health education. Camfed works closely with grassroots activists in various community structures, including Mother Support Groups, which form to help orphans and vulnerable children locally.
