Get Involved
We at Camfed know that one person can change the fate of a child who seems destined for a life of poverty.
Ann Cotton started Camfed by selling baked goods in order to send a group of 32 girls to school in Zimbabwe. Today, 15 years later, Camfed supports more than 408,000 children through its education programs.
You can help unlock a world of opportunity for a child by doing something as simple as joining a social network, or inviting friends to your house to watch a movie.
Here are some creative ideas about how to help.
