Ann Cotton started Camfed by fundraising at her kitchen table to send a group of girls to school in Zimbabwe. We at Camfed know that one person can change the fate of a girl who seems destined for a life of poverty. If you would like to become an integral part of Camfed’s mission to empower girls and young women in Africa, please consider some of the following suggestions.
Spread the word
One of the best ways to support Camfed is to talk to everyone you know about our vital work. We have put together a selection of online tools to make it easier.
Fundraise for Camfed
There are thousands of ways you can help raise funds for Camfed. From sponsored events, ebay auctions or as a member of our race team in the annual British 10km road race through London. We will provide you with all the promotional materials you need including brochures, stories, films and audio. We can also help you set up your own fundraising web page through our friends at justgiving.com. Check out more fundraising ideas or read about some our fundraisers' efforts.
