Sisterhood monthly donors are on a mission
Educating girls is an unparalleled way of addressing dangerous trajectories — from global warming, to food shortages, to violence against women. In the most vulnerable parts of the world, without your help, many girls will never reach their full potential, and instead are likely to suffer as child laborers and worse, child brides.
Ignite the Multiplier Effect
Girls educated with CAMFED support grow up and become leaders — doctors, teachers, business owners, activists. And they then send 3 (or more!) girls to school.
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof of described CAMFED as the “perpetual motion machine.”
We call it the CAMFED Multiplier Effect.

How does educating a girl help solve the world’s problems?
Girls’ education has the power to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges – and CAMFED has a revolutionary model for delivering on this promise.
Reduces Gender-Based Violence:
Education increases women’s confidence, knowledge, networks, income potential, and control over their own bodies.
Combats Global Climate Change:
Educated girls can make choices that reduce carbon emissions, and become leaders in sustainable business, climate-smart agriculture and policy.
Reduces the Gender Poverty Gap:
Women who finish secondary school will earn 2x as much as those who never enter a classroom and will be 5x less likely to marry as children.
Advances Human Rights:
Greater gender equality leads to more just, stable, equitable and productive societies that protect human rights and invest in health and education.
Increases Food Security:
