CAMFED USA FOUNDATION

Camfed fights poverty and HIV/AIDS in rural Africa by educating girls and empowering women to become leaders of change.

Since 1993, Camfed has fought poverty and AIDS by educating girls and empowering young women. More than 645,400 children in impoverished areas of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana and Malawi have benefited from our innovative education programs. Camfed uses a community-based, holistic approach to bring about change in Africa. The girls we support are selected by the community as being the most in need. We don't just provide her with books or school fees. We help her throughout her development, from her elementary school years until adulthood. Our comprehensive package allows her to get into school, do well academically, and maximize the value of her education after she graduates.
