Camfed (Campaign for Female Education)is a non-profit organization<\/a> aimed at helping girls get an education in sub-Saharan<\/a> Africa. It was founded<\/a> by Ann Cotton, a British businesswoman, in 1993. Camfed operates<\/a> in five African countries. <\/p>\n\n

The organization concentrates its work on rural areas<\/a> with widespread<\/a> poverty<\/a>. Many children, especially girls, cannot go to school because they have to help at home and earn money for their families. Many marry at a very early age. Only very few complete secondary education<\/a> and get an appropriate<\/a> job afterwards. <\/p>\n\n

During the COVID pandemic<\/a> many schools had to close, food and energy costs have risen<\/a> since then making it even harder for children to get educated. <\/p>\n\n

Camfed helps by paying for school fees<\/a>, uniforms and textbooks. It also helps to train teachers and assists<\/a> girls in finding work after school. In the past 30 years Camfed has helped over 2 million girls get an education. <\/p>\n\n

Recently<\/a>, Camfed has called for a six-year plan to get 6 million girls educated by the end of the decade<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
