CAMFED Ghana supports over 1,000 vulnerable girls to access education nationwide

CAMFED Ghana, a non-governmental organisation committed to girls’ education and women’s empowerment, has supported more than 1,000 vulnerable and deprived girls across the country to return to school through strategic partnerships with like-minded institutions.

Speaking at the 2025 CAMFED Ghana Association Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Tamale, National Chairperson of the Association, Madam Rahmatu Abubakar, said the interventions focused on girls from marginalised communities, including those who had dropped out of school for various reasons.

She explained that CAMFED Ghana proactively identifies out-of-school girls and provides them with educational materials and the necessary support to help them return to school and focus on their studies.

The AGM, held on the theme “Igniting Potentials and Transforming Lives: Showcasing the Ripple Effect of Education,” brought together key stakeholders, CAMFED Association members and media representatives to review the organisation’s impact over the past year.

Madam Abubakar noted that the organisation’s collective efforts had earned international recognition, with CAMFED Ghana recently acknowledged for its philanthropic and inclusive leadership at a leadership summit in Malawi.

Some individual members also received awards at the summit, a development she said reinforced their commitment to championing girls’ education.

Executive Director of CAMFED Ghana, Madam Feruza Abdul-Rashid Safian, said the AGM provided a platform to celebrate the nationwide network of CAMFED Association members and showcase the positive impact of their philanthropic initiatives.

She highlighted that beneficiaries of CAMFED’s educational and entrepreneurship programmes were now supporting other girls in their communities, demonstrating how the organization’s interventions continue to create a ripple effect of empowerment and transformation across the country.
